[patch net-next] devlink: add format requirement for devlink param names

[Jiri Pirko <jiri@resnulli.us>]

From: Jiri Pirko <jiri@mellanox.com>

Currently, the name format is not required by the code, however it is
required during patch review. All params added until now are in-lined
with the following format:
1) lowercase characters, digits and underscored are allowed
2) underscore is neither at the beginning nor at the end and
   there is no more than one in a row.

Add checker to the code to require this format from drivers and warn if
they don't follow.
