[PATCH] netdev: Use flexible array for trailing private bytes

[Kees Cook]

Introduce a new struct net_device_priv that contains struct net_device
but also accounts for the commonly trailing bytes through the "size" and
"data" members. As many dummy struct net_device instances exist still,
it is non-trivial to but this flexible array inside struct net_device
itself. But we can add a sanity check in netdev_priv() to catch any
attempts to access the private data of a dummy struct.

Adjust allocation logic to use the new full structure.
