cnic, bnx2x, bnx2: Simplify cnic probing.
we can now reliably receive netdev events and we can simplify the handling
of these events. We now remove the logic that tries to handle missed
NETDEV_REGISTER events.
This change will allow cleanup to be simplified in the next patch. We can
now rely on the play back of netdev events during
unregister_netdevice_notifier() to cleanup the structures.
