[PATCH 3/3] globalvar: remove code for unqualified globalvars

[Sascha Hauer]

The globalvar_add_simple_* functions will fail when a globalvar of
the name already exists. This happened when the globalvar was created
previously because a corresponding nvvar existed. For this reason we
removed the globalvars that have been previously created by nvvar
creation (we called these unqualified globalvars). Since we no longer
create the corresponding globalvars on nvvar creation this code is
no longer needed. Remove it.
