PM: QoS: Get rid of unused flags

The network_latency and network_throughput flags for PM-QoS have not
found much use in drivers or in userspace since they were introduced.

Commit 4a733ef1be ("mac80211: remove PM-QoS listener") removed the
only user PM_QOS_NETWORK_LATENCY in the kernel a while ago and there
don't seem to be any userspace tools using the character device files
either.

PM_QOS_MEMORY_BANDWIDTH was never even added to the trace events.

Remove all the flags except cpu_dma_latency.

Two different PM QoS frameworks are available:
1. PM QoS classes for cpu_dma_latency, network_latency, network_throughput,
memory_bandwidth.
1. PM QoS classes for cpu_dma_latency
2. the per-device PM QoS framework provides the API to manage the per-device latency
constraints and PM QoS flags.

parameter requests in the following way:
To register the default pm_qos target for the specific parameter, the process
must open one of /dev/[cpu_dma_latency, network_latency, network_throughput]
must open /dev/cpu_dma_latency
As long as the device node is held open that process has a registered
request on the parameter.
