Subject: [v3 PATCH 1/2] netprio_cgroup: Remove update_netdev_tables() since it
 is unnecessary

The update_netdev_tables() function appears to be unnecessary, since the
write_update_netdev_table() function will adjust the priomaps as and when
required anyway. So drop the usage of update_netdev_tables() entirely.
