[PATCH] wifi: qtnfmac: allocate dummy net_device dynamically

[Breno Leitao]

Embedding net_device into structures prohibits the usage of flexible
arrays in the net_device structure. For more details, see the discussion
at [1].

Un-embed the net_device from struct qtnf_bus by converting it
into a pointer. Then use the leverage alloc_netdev() to allocate the
net_device object at qtnf_pcie_probe(). The free of the device occurs at
qtnf_pcie_remove().
