Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/3] bna: remove useless global variables

The set removes useless global bnad_list as well as bnad->entry that track
a list of driver instances but it is not used anywhere. The associated
bnad_list_mutex is removed as well but as it is also used to protect
bna_id increment it is necessary to convert bna_id to atomic_t.
