batman-adv: Drop implicit creation of batadv net_devices
The sysfs code in batman-adv was could create a new batadv interfaces on demand when a string (interface name) was written to the batman-adv/mesh_iface file. But the code no longer exists in the current batman-adv codebase. The helper code to implement this behavior must be considered as unused and can be dropped.
