[PATCH 05/11] net: core: provide devm_register_netdev()

[Bartosz Golaszewski]

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bgolaszewski@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Provide devm_register_netdev() - a device resource managed variant
of register_netdev(). This new helper will only work for net_device
structs that have a parent device assigned and are devres managed too.
