net: don't use set/get_pointer() in set/get_netdev()

Commit 1ceef9f27359cbe92ef124bf74de6f792e71f6fb (net: multiqueue
support) tries to use set_pointer() and get_pointer() to set and get
NICPeers which is not a pointer defined in DEFINE_PROP_NETDEV. This
trick works but result a unclean and fragile implementation (e.g
print_netdev and parse_netdev).

This patch solves this issue by not using set/get_pinter() and set and
get netdev directly in set_netdev() and get_netdev(). After this the
parse_netdev() and print_netdev() were no longer used and dropped from
the source.

[Renamed 'err' label to 'out' as suggested by Markus Armbruster.

net: Use g_new() & friends where that makes obvious sense

g_new(T, n) is neater than g_malloc(sizeof(T) * n).  It's also safer,
for two reasons.  One, it catches multiplication overflowing size_t.
Two, it returns T * rather than void *, which lets the compiler catch
more type errors.

This commit only touches allocations with size arguments of the form
sizeof(T).

e1000: defer packets until BM enabled

Some guests seem to set BM for e1000 after
enabling RX.
If packets arrive in the window, device is wedged.
Probably works by luck on real hardware, work around
this by making can_receive depend on BM.
