net: add the driver-facing netdev_work scheduling API
With an extra event mask we can easily extend the netdev work
to also service driver-defined events. For advanced drivers
this is probably not a perfect match, but it makes running
deferred work easier in simple cases.
Expose the netdev_work facility to drivers. Add helpers
to schedule work and a dedicated ndo to perform the driver-
-scheduled actions.
