netdevice: Kill netdev->priv
This is the last shoot of this series.
After I removing all directly reference of netdev->priv, I am killing
"priv" of "struct net_device" and fixing relative comments/docs.
Anyone will not be allowed to reference netdev->priv directly.
If you want to reference the memory of private data, use netdev_priv()
instead.
If the private data is not allocted when alloc_netdev(), use
netdev->ml_priv to point that memory after you creating that private
data.

These reserve extra space for driver private data which gets freed when the network device is freed. If separately allocated data is attached to the network device -(dev->priv) then it is up to the module exit handler to free that. +(netdev_priv(dev)) then it is up to the module exit handler to free that.
