net: thunderx: Unembed netdev structure
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_devices from struct lmac by converting them into pointers, and allocating them dynamically. Use the leverage alloc_netdev() to allocate the net_device object at bgx_lmac_enable(). The free of the device occurs at bgx_lmac_disable(). Do not free_netdevice() if bgx_lmac_enable() fails after lmac->netdev is allocated, since bgx_lmac_disable() is called if bgx_lmac_enable() fails, and lmac->netdev will be freed there (similarly to lmac->dmacs).
