usb: octeon-hcd: Convert to platform remove callback returning void

The .remove() callback for a platform driver returns an int which makes
many driver authors wrongly assume it's possible to do error handling by
returning an error code. However the value returned is ignored (apart from
emitting a warning) and this typically results in resource leaks. To improve
here there is a quest to make the remove callback return void. In the first
step of this quest all drivers are converted to .remove_new() which already
returns void. Eventually after all drivers are converted, .remove_new() is
renamed to .remove().

Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove
callback to the void returning variant.

staging: octeon-usb: move driver out of staging

The Octeon usb driver has been in staging for a long time and used in
Ubiquiti routers for a while now.
It's been built and then tested on real hardware with several usb devices
and it is proven to be stable and ready to be moved to its proper place
in the kernel tree.

Move it to drivers/usb/host and adjust its Makefile, Kconfig and defconfig
dependencies.

Many thanks to the developers who made it happen.
