[PATCH v2] staging: unisys: remove unused functions

[Sudip Mukherjee <sudipm.mukherjee@gmail.com>]

these functions were just defined and never used. after removing the
functions the variable visorchipset_cache_buffers_in_use is becoming
unused, so removed it as well.

v2: combined both patches of v1 together
