[PATCH] Rework dev_base via list_head

[Pavel Emelianov <xemul@sw.ru>]

Cleanup of dev_base list use, with the aim to simplify making
device list per-namespace. In almost every occasion, use of
dev_base variable and dev->next pointer could be easily replaced
by  for_each_netdev loop. A few most complicated places were
converted to using first_netdev()/next_netdev().

Fits 2.6.21-rc7 tree.
