[PATCH] net: core: provide devm_register_netdev()

[Bartosz Golaszewski]

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bgolaszewski@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Create a new source file for networking devres helpers and provide
devm_register_netdev() - a managed variant of register_netdev().

I'm writing a new ethernet driver and I realized there's no devres
variant for register_netdev(). Since this is the only function I need
to get rid of the remove() callback, I thought I'll just go ahead and
add it and send it even before the driver to make it available to other
drivers.
