usb: gadget: u_ether: Add auto-cleanup helper for freeing net_device
The net_device in the u_ether framework currently requires explicit calls to unregister and free the device. Introduce gether_unregister_free_netdev() and the corresponding auto-cleanup macro. This ensures that if a net_device is registered, it is properly unregistered and the associated work queue is flushed before the memory is freed. This is a preparatory patch to simplify error handling paths in gadget drivers by removing the need for explicit goto labels for net_device cleanup.
