[ofa-general] [PATCH next]infiniband: Kill directly reference of netdev->priv

This use of netdev->priv is wrong.
The right way is:
alloc_netdev() with no memory for private data.
make netdev->ml_priv to point to c2_dev.

I am doing this kind of work for net-next tree.
So I send this patch to Dave, although infiniband's maintainer is
not him.
