init_dummy_netdev() can initialize statically declared or embedded net_devices. Such netdevs did not come from alloc_netdev_mqs(). After recent work by Breno, there are the only two cases where we have do that. Switch those cases to alloc_netdev_mqs() and delete init_dummy_netdev(). Dealing with static netdevs is not worth the maintenance burden.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
