wimax: move to staging

After I sent a fix for what appeared to be a harmless warning in
 the wimax user interface code, the conclusion was that the whole
 thing has most likely not been used in a very long time, and the
 user interface possibly been broken since b61a5eea59 ("wimax: use
 genl_register_family_with_ops()").
 
 Using a shared branch between net-next and staging should help
 coordinate patches getting submitted against it.

There are no known users of this driver as of October 2020, and it will
be removed unless someone turns out to still need it in future releases.
According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WiMAX_networks, there
have been many public wimax networks, but it appears that many of these
have migrated to LTE or discontinued their service altogether. As most
PCs and phones lack WiMAX hardware support, the remaining networks tend
to use standalone routers. These almost certainly run Linux, but not a
modern kernel or the mainline wimax driver stack.
NetworkManager appears to have dropped userspace support in 2015
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=747846, the www.linuxwimax.org
site had already shut down earlier.
WiMax is apparently still being deployed on airport campus networks
("AeroMACS"), but in a frequency band that was not supported by the old
Intel 2400m (used in Sandy Bridge laptops and earlier), which is the
only driver using the kernel's wimax stack.
