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.
