[PATCH 03/11] net: devres: relax devm_register_netdev()

[Bartosz Golaszewski]

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bgolaszewski at baylibre.com>

This devres helper registers a release callback that only unregisters
the net_device. It works perfectly fine with netdev structs that are
not managed on their own. There's no reason to check this - drop the
warning.
