From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
The ieee802154 socket implementation is the last remaining caller of the
netdevice ioctl callback. In order to completely remove this, add a custom
pointer to the existing wpan_dev specific operations structure. Since that
structure is currently only used to wrap the 'create' header operation,
adjust the naming slightly to make this more generic.
It would be a good idea to adjust the calling conventions and split the
get/set operations into separate functions, but that can be a follow-up
cleanup. For the moment, I kept the actual changes to a minimum to
avoid regressions.

I found this one in my stack of old patches. It's been a while
since v2, but the patch is still valid.

All of the references to the callback pointer are gone, so remove the
pointer itself before we grow new references to it.
