Missing MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE for pci ids from benet driver found by clang.

Signed-off-by: Behan Webster <redacted>
Suggested-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
Why are you removing the device table?
Behan took a patch that I did earlier and split it up to add descriptions.
The patch is correct, but he either misunderstood or misexpressed the
intention.
I was tired and rushed this submission in my preparation for FOSDEM.
Apologies to all.

I neglected to write the commit log when I first split the patch, and
didn't look hard enough this time.
This driver has two identical lines that both say 

MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(pci, be_dev_ids);
This is indeed the case.
I don't remember the exact symptom, but llvm/clang trips over this, while gcc
silently ignores the second one.
It claims that it is defined more than once.
