net/nebula-matrix: add common/ctrl dev init/reinit operation
This commit introduces common and control device setup and teardown routines
for the nebula-matrix network driver. It configures mailbox channels, queue
tasks, and MSI-X initialization.

If disp_ops->get_vsi_id() or disp_ops->get_eth_id() fail below, does this
leak the mailbox channel queue?
Because dev_mgt->common_dev is not assigned until the very end of this
function, the standard cleanup routine nbl_dev_remove_common_dev() will
return early due to its NULL check. It seems the queue will not be destroyed
in these error paths.

Can this lead to a race condition and a potential use-after-free?
By tearing down the channel queue before unregistering the task, a pending
or running clean_mbx_task could execute on the destroyed queue.
Additionally, is a call to cancel_work_sync() needed here for the
clean_mbx_task? Since common_dev is allocated via devm_kzalloc, it will be
freed when the device detaches. If the work is still pending or running, it
might try to access the freed memory.
