appletalk: stop storing per-interface state in struct net_device
AppleTalk keeps its per-interface control block (struct atalk_iface)
directly in struct netdevice (dev->atalk_ptr). This is the only thing
tying the protocol into the core net_device layout and is the sole
blocker to moving AppleTalk out of tree.
Replace dev->atalk_ptr with a small ifindex-keyed hashtable internal
to ddp.c. The existing atalk_interfaces list stays the owner of the iface
objects; the hashtable is purely a fast dev->iface index and reuses
the same atalk_interfaces_lock.
AFAICT this patch does not make this code any more racy than it already
is, I'm sure Sashiko will point out some basically existing bugs.
AFAICT atalk_interfaces_lock is the innermost lock already.
