cnic: Simplify netdev events handling.
After this earlier commit to simplify probing: commit 4bd9b0fffb193d2e288f67f81821af32df8d4349 cnic, bnx2x, bnx2: Simplify cnic probing. we can now reliably receive netdev events and we can simplify the handling of these events. We now remove the logic that tries to handle missed NETDEV_REGISTER events. This change will allow cleanup to be simplified in the next patch. We can now rely on the play back of netdev events during unregister_netdevice_notifier() to cleanup the structures. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
