No more NULL dereference and kernel panic on current kernels

Found patch on the web:
  http://users.telenet.be/x86_64/Patches/rtl8192eu-k3.13.patch

Before patch, kernel panic due to a NULL dereference in
rtw_ndev_notifier_register; this patch solves that problem by not using
these methods on kernel versions after a certain number, so it leads me
to believe that this patch is meant to make the driver compatible with
newer kernel versions.
