net/ncsi: Fix netlink registration
If a user unbinds and re-binds a NC-SI aware driver the kernel will attempt to register the netlink interface at runtime. The structure is marked __ro_after_init so registration fails spectacularly at this point. # echo 1e660000.ethernet > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/ftgmac100/unbind # echo 1e660000.ethernet > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/ftgmac100/bind ftgmac100 1e660000.ethernet: Read MAC address 52:54:00:12:34:56 from chip ftgmac100 1e660000.ethernet: Using NCSI interface 8<--- cut here --- Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 80a8f858 pgd = 8c768dd6 [80a8f858] *pgd=80a0841e(bad) Internal error: Oops: 80d [#1] SMP ARM CPU: 0 PID: 116 Comm: sh Not tainted 5.10.0-rc3-next-20201111-00003-gdd25b227ec1e #51 Hardware name: Generic DT based system PC is at genl_register_family+0x1f8/0x6d4 LR is at 0xff26ffff pc : [<8073f930>] lr : [<ff26ffff>] psr: 20000153 sp : 8553bc80 ip : 81406244 fp : 8553bd04 r10: 8085d12c r9 : 80a8f73c r8 : 85739000 r7 : 00000017 r6 : 80a8f860 r5 : 80c8ab98 r4 : 80a8f858 r3 : 00000000 r2 : 00000000 r1 : 81406130 r0 : 00000017 Flags: nzCv IRQs on FIQs off Mode SVC_32 ISA ARM Segment none Control: 00c5387d Table: 85524008 DAC: 00000051 Process sh (pid: 116, stack limit = 0x1f1988d6) ...

Fix the crash by registering the netlink family once on boot, and drop the code to unregister it.
