can: make use of preallocated can_ml_priv for per device struct can_dev_rcv_lists
This patch removes the old method of allocating the per device protocol
specific memory via a netdevice_notifier. This had the drawback, that
the allocation can fail, leading to a lot of null pointer checks in the
code. This also makes the live cycle management of this memory quite
complicated.
This patch switches from the allocating the struct can_dev_rcv_lists in
a NETDEV_REGISTER call to using the dev->ml_priv, which is allocated by
the driver since the previous patch.
