[patch 1/2] veth: Remove useless veth field

[Daniel Lezcano <dlezcano@fr.ibm.com>]

[-- Attachment #1: remove-useless-veth-field.patch --]

The veth private structure contains a netdev pointer refering to its peer.
This field is never used and it is pointless because if we can access,
the veth_priv, that means we already have the netdev which is stored
in veth_priv->dev.
