Using netconsole netpoll_poll_dev could be called from interrupt context, thus using disable_irq() would cause the following kernel warning with CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP enabled:

Since [0] .ndo_poll_controller is only needed if driver doesn't or partially use NAPI. Because stmmac does so, stmmac_poll_controller can be removed fixing the above warning.
[0] commit ac3d9dd034e5 ("netpoll: make ndo_poll_controller() optional")
