net: remove init_dummy_netdev()
init_dummy_netdev() can initialize statically declared or embedded
net_devices. Such netdevs did not come from alloc_netdev_mqs().
After recent work by Breno, there are the only two cases where
we have do that.
Switch those cases to alloc_netdev_mqs() and delete init_dummy_netdev().
Dealing with static netdevs is not worth the maintenance burden.
