The iavf client interface was added in 2017 by commit ed0e894de7c1
("i40evf: add client interface"), but there have never been any in-tree
callers.
It's not useful for future development either. The Intel out-of-tree
iavf and irdma drivers instead use an auxiliary bus, which is a better
solution.
Remove the iavf client interface code. Also gone are the client_task
work and the client_lock mutex.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
