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 hfi1_netdev_rx by converting it
into a pointer. Then use the leverage alloc_netdev() to allocate the
net_device object at hfi1_alloc_rx().

Changelog

v5:
	* Basically replaced the old alloc_netdev() by the new helper
	  alloc_netdev_dummy().
v4:
	* Fix the changelog format
v3:
	* Re-worded the comment, by removing the first paragraph.
v2:
	* Free struct hfi1_netdev_rx allocation if alloc_netdev() fails
	* Pass zero as the private size for alloc_netdev().
	* Remove wrong reference for iwl in the comments

Dennis,

Do you plan to send anything to rdma-next which can potentially create
conflicts with netdev in this cycle?

If not, it will be safe to apply this patch directly to net-next.

Thanks

Nothing right now. Should be safe to sent to net-next.

FYI, since I talked about it publicly at the OFA Workshop recently. We will be
starting the upstream of support for our new HW, soon.

We'll need a repost, it wasn't CCed to netdev.

I can repost it and CC netdev.
