[PATCH] schedule wext/rtnl for removal

Since wext is being replaced as fast as we can (it'll probably stick around
for legacy drivers though) and the wext/netlink stuff was never really
used, this schedules it for removal.

The removal schedule is tight but there are no users of the code, the main
user of the wext user interface are the wireless-tools, they only have an
alpha version using the netlink interface and even that is incomplete.
