net devices: Get network devices to show up in sysfs.

- declare net_subsys, and register during net_dev_init().
- Add kobject to struct net_device.
- initialize name and register in register_netdevice().
- remove in unregister_netdevice().

This allows one to see the registered network devices in the system via:

# tree /sys/net/
/sys/net/
