net/ncsi: Fix netlink registration



If a user unbinds and re-binds a NC-SI aware driver the kernel will
attempt to register the netlink interface at runtime. The structure is
marked __ro_after_init so registration fails spectacularly at this point.

Jakub pointed out that ncsi_register_dev is obviously broken, because
there is only one family so it would never work if there was more than
one ncsi netdev.

Fix the crash by registering the netlink family once on boot, and drop
the code to unregister it.
