Joel Stanley 3f0ccca272 net/ncsi: Fix netlink registration
[ Upstream commit 1922a46b8c18cb09d33e06a6cc2e43844ac1b9d0 ]

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.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
