[PATCH] wifi: iwlwifi: pcie: allocate dummy net_device dynamically

[Breno Leitao]

struct net_device shouldn't be embedded into any structure, instead,
the owner should use the priv space to embed their state into net_device.

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 iwl_trans_pcie by converting it
into a pointer. Then use the leverage alloc_netdev() to allocate the
net_device object at iwl_trans_pcie_alloc.

The private data of net_device becomes a pointer for the struct
iwl_trans_pcie, so, it is easy to get back to the iwl_trans_pcie parent
given the net_device object.
