netdevice zd1201: Convert directly reference of netdev->priv to netdev_priv()

We have some reasons to kill netdev->priv:
1. netdev->priv is equal to netdev_priv().
2. netdev_priv() wraps the calculation of netdev->priv's offset, obviously
   netdev_priv() is more flexible than netdev->priv.
But we cann't kill netdev->priv, because so many drivers reference to it
directly.

OK, becasue Dave S. Miller said, "every direct netdev->priv usage is a bug",
and I want to kill netdev->priv later, I decided to convert all the direct
reference of netdev->priv first.

(Original patch posted by Wang Chen <wangchen@cn.fujitsu.com> w/ above
changelog but using dev->ml_priv.  That doesn't seem appropriate
to me for this driver, so I've revamped it to use netdev_priv()
instead. -- JWL)
