wifi: mt76: un-embedd netdev from mt76_dev

Embedding net_device into structures prohibits the usage of flexible
arrays in the net_device structure. For more details, see the discussion
at [1].

Un-embed the net_devices from struct mt76_dev by converting them
into pointers, and allocating them dynamically. Use the leverage
alloc_netdev_dummy() to allocate the net_device object at
mt76_dma_init().

The free of the device occurs at mt76_dma_cleanup().
