[NETPOLL]: allow multiple netpoll_clients to register against one interface

This patch provides support for registering multiple netpoll clients to the
same network device.  Only one of these clients may register an rx_hook,
however.  In practice, this restriction has not been problematic.  It is
worth mentioning, though, that the current design can be easily extended to
allow for the registration of multiple rx_hooks.

The basic idea of the patch is that the rx_np pointer in the netpoll_info
structure points to the struct netpoll that has rx_hook filled in.  Aside
from this one case, there is no need for a pointer from the struct
net_device to an individual struct netpoll.

A lock is introduced to protect the setting and clearing of the np_rx
pointer.  The pointer will only be cleared upon netpoll client module
removal, and the lock should be uncontested.
