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:

V2 : replaced strings comparison by pointers comparison
