[NET]: ethertap fixes.

includes these changes from viro
* switched ethertap to dynamic allocation
* ethertap: embedded ->priv
* ethertap: fixed resource leaks on failure exits
and from me
* get it out of the static device list completely.
* add dependency on NETLINK_DEV
* not really obsolete yet
* configurable number of interfaces
