In the next patches, the software/virtual drivers (slcan, v(x)can) will depend on drivers/net/can/dev/skb.o. This patch changes the scope of the can-dev module to include the above mentioned drivers. To do so, we reuse the menu "CAN Device Drivers" and turn it into a configmenu using the config symbol CAN_DEV (which we released in previous patch). Also, add a description to this new CAN_DEV menuconfig. The symbol CAN_DEV now only triggers the build of skb.o. For this reasons, all the macros from linux/module.h are deported from drivers/net/can/dev/dev.c to drivers/net/can/dev/skb.c. Finally, drivers/net/can/dev/Makefile is adjusted accordingly.
