integ: remove mlx4 from openvswitch

Browse Source 
The module mlx4 has been dropped in
mlnx-ofa_kernel-5.5-OFED.5.5.1.0.3.1. So remove mlx4 from openvswitch
after OFED driver upgrade. The infomation can be found in the part
"Unsupported Functionalities/Features/NICs" in this link:
https://docs.nvidia.com/networking/display/MLNXOFEDv551032/
General+Support where ConnectX-3 and ConnectX-3 Pro adapter card
represents use of mlx4.

Verification:
- Build success.
- Install success onto a StarlingX system with two controller and two
  compute nodes with network adapters Mellanox's OFED. The network
  adapters of controllers are Mellanox Technologies MT27710 Family
  [ConnectX-4 Lx], the network adapters of computes are Mellanox
  Teichnologies MT27800 Family [ConnectX-5].
- RDMA/Infiniband over Ethernet functionalities of the Mellanox adapters
  were successfully tested using the Linux RDMA community's perftest
  package.
- Test ovs-dpdk. It fails with both mlx driver version
  mlnx-ofa_kernel-5.3-OFED.5.3.1.0.0.1 and
  mlnx-ofa_kernel-5.5-OFED.5.5.1.0.3.1. The OFED v5.5 is not breaking
  anything new.
