[S390] Remove tape block device driver.
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Remove the tape block device driver. It's not of real use but has
already created some confusion when users wanted to access tape devices
and used the block device nodes instead of the character device nodes.

Also remove the whole tape documentation since it's completely outdated
and we have the device drivers book which is the place where everything
is properly documented.

Select this option if you want to access your channel-attached tape
devices using the block device interface. This interface is similar
to CD-ROM devices on other platforms. The tapes can only be
accessed read-only when using this interface. Have a look at
<file:Documentation/s390/TAPE> for further information about creating
volumes for and using this interface. It is safe to say "Y" here.
