    net: device name allocation cleanups

introduced a bug when there is a hash collision making impossible
to rename a device with eth%d. This bug is very hard to reproduce
and appears rarely.

The problem is coming from we don't pass a temporary buffer to
__dev_alloc_name but 'dev->name' which is modified by the function.

A detailed explanation is here:
