Currently each cpu creates network device as part of native networking stack creation and all cpus create native networking stack independently, which makes it impossible to use data initialized by one cpu in another cpu's networking device initialization. For multiqueue devices often some parts of an initialization have to be handled by one cpu and all other cpus should wait for the first one before creating their network devices. Even without multiqueue proxy devices should be created after master device is created so that proxy device may get a pointer to the master at creation time (existing code uses global per cpu device pointer and assume that master device is created on cpu 0 to compensate for the lack of ordering). This patch makes it possible to delay native networking stack creation until network device is created. It allows one cpu to be responsible for creation of network devices on multiple cpus. Single queue device initialize master device on one cpu and call other cpus with a pointer to master device and its cpu id which are used in proxy device creation. This removes the need for per cpu device pointer and "master on cpu 0" assumption from the code since now master device and slave devices know about each other and can communicate directly.
