[PATCH 1/3] staging: dgap: remove unneeded status variables

[Alexey Khoroshilov <khoroshilov@xxxxxxxxx>]

dgap_driver_start and dgap_Major_Control_Registered are used
to keep status of initialization of the driver as a whole and its "Major Control".
But the code that checks them is executed once on module init/unload.
That makes no sense in these variables as far as their values are predictable
at any time.
