netdev: add more functions to netdevice ops
This patch moves neigh_setup and hard_start_xmit into the network device ops
structure. For bisection, fix all the previously converted drivers as well.
Bonding driver took the biggest hit on this.

Added a prefetch of the hard_start_xmit in the fast path to try and reduce
any impact this would have.
