[NET]: Loopback device simplification.

Now that all the magic chain of static devices is gone from Space.c
The initialization of the one remaining static device (ie the loopback driver)
can be simplified.

One small change was to reduce possibility of failing the initialization if
allocation of private data failed by just going without statistics.
