      net/ncsi: Fix netlink registration · 1922a46b
      Joel Stanley authored
      If a user unbinds and re-binds a NC-SI aware driver the kernel will
      attempt to register the netlink interface at runtime. The structure is
      marked __ro_after_init so registration fails spectacularly at this point.

      Jakub pointed out that ncsi_register_dev is obviously broken, because
      there is only one family so it would never work if there was more than
      one ncsi netdev.
      
      Fix the crash by registering the netlink family once on boot, and drop
      the code to unregister it.
