net: Revert devlink health changes.

This reverts the devlink health changes from 9/17/2019,
Jiri wants things to be designed differently and it was
agreed that the easiest way to do this is start from the
beginning again.

-The health mechanism is targeted for Real Time Alerting, in order to know when
-something bad had happened to a PCI device
-- Provide alert debug information
-- Self healing
-- If problem needs vendor support, provide a way to gather all needed debugging
-  information.
-
-The main idea is to unify and centralize driver health reports in the
-generic devlink instance and allow the user to set different
-attributes of the health reporting and recovery procedures.
-
-The devlink health reporter:
-Device driver creates a "health reporter" per each error/health type.
-Error/Health type can be a known/generic (eg pci error, fw error, rx/tx error)
-or unknown (driver specific).
-For each registered health reporter a driver can issue error/health reports
-asynchronously. All health reports handling is done by devlink.
-Device driver can provide specific callbacks for each "health reporter", e.g.
- - Recovery procedures
- - Diagnostics and object dump procedures
- - OOB initial parameters
-Different parts of the driver can register different types of health reporters
-with different handlers.
-
-Once an error is reported, devlink health will do the following actions:
-  * A log is being send to the kernel trace events buffer
-  * Health status and statistics are being updated for the reporter instance
-  * Object dump is being taken and saved at the reporter instance (as long as
-    there is no other dump which is already stored)
-  * Auto recovery attempt is being done. Depends on:
-    - Auto-recovery configuration
-    - Grace period vs. time passed since last recover
-
-The user interface:
-User can access/change each reporter's parameters and driver specific callbacks
-via devlink, e.g per error type (per health reporter)
- - Configure reporter's generic parameters (like: disable/enable auto recovery)
- - Invoke recovery procedure
- - Run diagnostics
- - Object dump
-
-The devlink health interface (via netlink):
-DEVLINK_CMD_HEALTH_REPORTER_GET
-  Retrieves status and configuration info per DEV and reporter.
-DEVLINK_CMD_HEALTH_REPORTER_SET
-  Allows reporter-related configuration setting.
-DEVLINK_CMD_HEALTH_REPORTER_RECOVER
-  Triggers a reporter's recovery procedure.
-DEVLINK_CMD_HEALTH_REPORTER_DIAGNOSE
-  Retrieves diagnostics data from a reporter on a device.
-DEVLINK_CMD_HEALTH_REPORTER_DUMP_GET
-  Retrieves the last stored dump. Devlink health
-  saves a single dump. If an dump is not already stored by the devlink
-  for this reporter, devlink generates a new dump.
-  dump output is defined by the reporter.
-DEVLINK_CMD_HEALTH_REPORTER_DUMP_CLEAR
-  Clears the last saved dump file for the specified reporter.
