[PATCH net-next v2] net: core: Remove the dup_errno parameter in dev_prep_valid_name()

[PATCH net-next v2] net: core: Remove the dup_errno parameter in dev_prep_valid_name()

[Yajun Deng]

netdev_name_in_use() in dev_prep_valid_name() return -EEXIST makes
more sense if it's not NULL, but dev_alloc_name() should keep the
-ENFILE errno.

There are three callers to dev_prep_valid_name(), the dup_errno
parameter is only for dev_alloc_name, it's not necessary for the other
callers.

Remove the dup_errno parameter in dev_prep_valid_name() and add a
conditional operator to dev_alloc_name(), replace -EEXIST with
-ENFILE.

Let me be more direct this time - I like this code the way I wrote it.
Please leave it be.
