sfc: stop setting dev_port

Browse source 
Setting dev_port changes the device names allocated by systemd. Any devices
with a dev_port >0 will (in default distro configurations) have a suffix of
"d<port-number>" appended.

This is not something done by other drivers, and causes confusion for users.

Fixes: 8be41320f3 ("sfc: Add code to export port_num in netdev->dev_port")
