In pppoe_seq_show(), the device name is currently read from
po->pppoe_pa.dev, which contains the name at the time the socket was
connected. If the lower network device is renamed afterwards, reading
/proc/net/pppoe will still print the old name.

Fix this by reading the name directly from the bound net_device via the
po->pppoe_dev pointer. Note that the pointer can be cleared when the
socket is being released, so a NULL check is required.
