[PATCH net-next] net: add devm version of alloc_etherdev_mqs function

[RafaÅ MiÅecki]

From: RafaÅ MiÅecki <rafal@xxxxxxxxxx>

This patch adds devm_alloc_etherdev_mqs function and devm_alloc_etherdev
macro. These can be used for simpler netdev allocation without having to
care about calling free_netdev.

Thanks to this change drivers, their error paths and removal paths may
get simpler by a bit.

I'm working on V2 of:
[PATCH 0/3] net-next: use one struct bgmac & add PHY support
and I just realized I could get a way simpler error path in bgmac with a
devm_alloc_etherdev helper. So there is my suggestion for adding it.
