Subject: [PATCH next]hysdn: Kill directly reference of netdev->priv

Usually, netdev->priv should point to the memory of private
data which is allocated in alloc_netdev().
netdev_priv() is used to get the address of the private data.

Change the netdev->priv pointer to another memory is wrong.
Use netdev->ml_priv for this case.
