This removes the only user of qlcnic_check_vf() but leaves the
definition around, dangling, and creating a build warning:

drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qlcnic/qlcnic_main.c:454:1: warning: ‘qlcnic_check_vf’ defined but not used [-Wunused-function]

Before you even bother sending this series yet another time, I want
you to do what I'm going to do with your patches anyways, which is
apply them one by one and verify that at each and every patch there
are no build failures or new warnings introduced.

My patience with you guys is wearing thin, and after being without
power or heat for 5 days I'm really grumpy.  So you better take
your time and make sure this thing is perfect before you even
think about posting it again.

Thanks.
