The app_data priority may not be the same for all net devices.
In order for stacks with application notifiers to identify the
specific net device dcb_app_type should be passed in the ptr.

This allows handlers to use dev_get_by_name() to pin priority
to net devices.

Given your track record with the previous two patches (ie. they
need work or are nonsense) I want someone who understands this
dcbnl stuff to review this third patch before I'm willing to
apply it.
