This patchset introduces two minor modernizations to the netpoll
infrastructure:

The first patch removes the unused netpoll pointer from the netpoll_info
structure. This member is redundant and its presence does not benefit
multi-instance setups, as reported by Jay Vosburgh. Eliminating it cleans up
the structure and removes unnecessary code.

The second patch updates the netpoll resource cleanup routine to use
synchronize_net() instead of synchronize_rcu(). As __netpoll_free() is always
called under the RTNL lock, using synchronize_net() leverages the more
efficient synchronize_rcu_expedited() in these contexts, reducing time spent in
critical sections and improving performance.

Both changes simplify maintenance and enhance efficiency without altering
netpoll behavior.

This is not expected to conflict with the other netpoll fix into `net`.
