[netdevice] Add the concept of an insomniac network device

Browse Source 
Some network devices (observed with the SNP interface to the wireless
network card on an HP Elitebook 840 G10) will stop working if they are
left for too long without being polled.

Add the concept of an insomniac network device, that must continue to
be polled even when closed.

Note that drivers are already permitted to call netdev_rx() et al even
when closed: this will already be happening for USB devices since
polling operates at the level of the whole USB bus, rather than at the
level of individual USB devices.
