[PATCH 1/3] staging: greybus: loopback.c: remove unused gb_loopback::lbid

[Rasmus Villemoes]

It's not obvious how the code prevents adding more than 31 elements to
the list and thus invoking undefined behaviour in the 1 << new_lbid
expression, and in practice causing ->lbid values to repeat every 32
elements.

But the definition of struct gb_loopback is local to loopback.c, and the
lbid field is entirely unused outside of this function, so it seems we
can just drop it entirely.

Since lbid isn't mentioned anywhere else in greybus/, it's hard to
figure out how it was meant to be used. It does seem like entirely
dead (write-only) code.
