Removed multi-nic tests from server whitelists by Jeff Marcom

Currently multi nic tests run while both interfaces are connected. The usual scenario is that both interfaces exist on the same subnet. While doing a ping flood on one interface it's common to see a false degradation in regards to speed and packet reception. This is due to how the linux kernel routes traffic. It's been shown that this test rarely if ever passes due to the methodology in place. The flaky nature of this particular test means that it needs to be removed from the test suite.

[Jeff Lane  (bladernr)]

Per discussing with Jeff and Brendan, I am rejecting this. The plan we have is to leave this in place until we have a working replacement to avoid holes in test coverage.
