pppoe: remove kernel-mode relay support
The kernel-mode PPPoE relay feature and its two associated ioctls
(PPPOEIOCSFWD and PPPOEIOCDFWD) are not used by any existing userspace
PPPoE implementations. The most commonly-used package, RP-PPPoE [1],
handles the relaying entirely in userspace.
This legacy code has remained in the driver since its introduction in
kernel 2.3.99-pre7 for over two decades, but has served no practical
purpose.
Remove the unused relay code.
