net: update the register_netdevice() kdoc
The BUGS section looks quite dated, the registration is under rtnl lock. Remove some obvious information while at it. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220511190720.1401356-1-kuba@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>

|

* Take a completed network device structure and add it to the kernel
|
||||
* interfaces. A %NETDEV_REGISTER message is sent to the netdev notifier
|
||||
* chain. 0 is returned on success. A negative errno code is returned
|
||||
* on a failure to set up the device, or if the name is a duplicate.
|

*
|
||||
* Callers must hold the rtnl semaphore. You may want
|

* register_netdev() instead of this.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* BUGS:
|
||||
* The locking appears insufficient to guarantee two parallel registers
|
||||
* will not get the same name.
|
||||
* Take a prepared network device structure and make it externally accessible.
|
||||
* A %NETDEV_REGISTER message is sent to the netdev notifier chain.
|
||||
* Callers must hold the rtnl lock - you may want register_netdev()
|
||||
* instead of this.
