dev_get_valid_name() overwrites the netdev's name on success.
This makes it hard to use in prepare-commit-like fashion,
where we do validation first, and "commit" to the change
later.
Factor out a helper which lets us save the new name to a buffer.
Use it to fix the problem of notification on netns move having
incorrect name:
5: eth0: <BROADCAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group default
link/ether be:4d:58:f9:d5:40 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
6: eth1: <BROADCAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group default
link/ether 1e:4a:34:36:e3:cd brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
[ ~]# ip link set dev eth0 netns 1 name eth1
ip monitor inside netns:
Deleted inet eth0
Deleted inet6 eth0
Deleted 5: eth1: <BROADCAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group default
link/ether be:4d:58:f9:d5:40 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff new-netnsid 0 new-ifindex 7
Name is reported as eth1 in old netns for ifindex 5, already renamed.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
