Miquel Raynal ed9a8ad7d8 ieee802154: Drop device trackers
In order to prevent a device from disappearing when a background job was
started, dev_hold() and dev_put() calls were made. During the
stabilization phase of the scan/beacon features, it was later decided
that removing the device while a background job was ongoing was a valid use
case, and we should instead stop the background job and then remove the
device, rather than prevent the device from being removed. This is what
is currently done, which means manually reference counting the device
during background jobs is no longer needed.
