[NET] link_watch: Move link watch list into net_device

These days the link watch mechanism is an integral part of the
network subsystem as it manages the carrier status.  So it now
makes sense to allocate some memory for it in net_device rather
than allocating it on demand.
      

I think there's a problem with one of these two patches.
    

Yes, there are :-)

Did you catch the follow-on bug fixes?
  

Nope.  Guess I got dropped from the cc: list.  Was this on lkml or netdev?
