Breno Leitao bca592ead8 wifi: ath11k: allocate dummy net_device dynamically
Embedding net_device into structures prohibits the usage of flexible
arrays in the net_device structure. For more details, see the discussion
at [1].

Un-embed the net_device from struct ath11k_ext_irq_grp by converting it
into a pointer. Then use the leverage alloc_netdev() to allocate the
net_device object at ath11k_ahb_config_ext_irq() for ahb, and
ath11k_pcic_ext_irq_config() for pcic.

The free of the device occurs at ath11k_ahb_free_ext_irq() for the ahb
case, and ath11k_pcic_free_ext_irq() for the pcic case.
