[PATCH net-next v4 07/10] net: Relocate dev_to_net_device() into net/core/dev.c

[f.fainelli@gmail.com (Florian Fainelli)]

dev_to_net_device() is moved from net/dsa/dsa.c to net/core/dev.c since
it going to be used by net/dsa/dsa2.c and the namespace of the function
justifies making it available to other users potentially. We also rename
it to device_to_net_device() to better illustrate what it does since it
is not just a container_of() wrapper.
