[PATCH NET-PREV 09/51] net: Use register_netdevice() in loopback()

[Kirill Tkhai]

loopback is simple interface without logical links to other devices.
Make it using register_netdevice() to allocate unique nd_lock
for it.

loopback is converted, so 50% work of removing rtnl_lock in kernel
is done.
