Subject: [PATCH] net/mlx4: revert workaround for broken Verbs

[ upstream commit c2b3dba84ad319003df04a5a9fa163a953224e83 ]

This workaround was needed to properly handle device removal with old
Mellanox OFED releases that are not supported by this PMD anymore.

Starting from rdma-core v16 this removal issue shouldn't happen when
setting MLX4_DEVICE_FATAL_CLEANUP environment variable to 1.

Set the aforementioned variable to 1.
