Kuniyuki Iwashima 0840556e5a net: Protect dev->name by seqlock.
We will convert ioctl(SIOCGARP) to RCU, and then we need to copy
dev->name which is currently protected by rtnl_lock().

This patch does the following:

  1) Add seqlock netdev_rename_lock to protect dev->name

  2) Add netdev_copy_name() that copies dev->name to buffer
     under netdev_rename_lock

  3) Use netdev_copy_name() in netdev_get_name() and drop
     devnet_rename_sem
