netpoll: Remove gfp parameter from __netpoll_setup
The gfp parameter was added in:
commit 47be03a28cc6c80e3aa2b3e8ed6d960ff0c5c0af

netpoll: use GFP_ATOMIC in slave_enable_netpoll() and __netpoll_setup()
slave_enable_netpoll() and __netpoll_setup() may be called
with read_lock() held, so should use GFP_ATOMIC to allocate
memory. Eric suggested to pass gfp flags to __netpoll_setup().

bonding: don't call slave_xxx_netpoll under spinlocks
The slave_xxx_netpoll will call synchronize_rcu_bh(),
so the function may schedule and sleep, it should't be
called under spinlocks.
bond_netpoll_setup() and bond_netpoll_cleanup() are always
protected by rtnl lock, it is no need to take the read lock,
as the slave list couldn't be changed outside rtnl lock.

Nothing else that calls __netpoll_setup or ndo_netpoll_setup
requires a gfp paramter, so remove the gfp parameter from both
of these functions making the code clearer.
