docs: net: netdevices: small fixes and clarifications
A handful of unrelated nits:
- free_netdevice() does not exist; replace two stray references
with free_netdev().
- The simple-driver probe example fell through into err_undo after
register_netdev() success; add return 0 for clarity.
- Clarify the netdev_priv() paragraph: "(netdev_priv())" was easy
to misread as the thing that needs explicit freeing; spell out
that it refers to extra pointers stored in the device private
struct.
- ndo_setup_tc synchronization note: TC_SETUP_BLOCK / TC_SETUP_FT
actually run under block->cb_lock, not "NFT locks", and rtnl_lock
may or may not be held depending on path.
- ->lltx guidance reads as very outdated, it's not really deprecated.
I suspect people may have been trying to use it for HW drivers
in the past but I can't think of such a case in the last decade.
