net: introduce pre-up netdev notifier
NETDEV_UP is called after the device is set UP, but sometimes
it is useful to be able to veto the device UP. Introduce a
new NETDEV_PRE_UP notifier that can be used for exactly this.
The first use case will be cfg80211 denying interfaces to be
set UP if the device is known to be rfkill'ed.
