Daniel Lezcano 8ce6cebc2f net-2.6 : V2 - fix dev_get_valid_name 
the commit:

commit d90310243f
Author: Octavian Purdila <opurdila@ixiacom.com>

    net: device name allocation cleanups

introduced a bug when there is a hash collision making impossible
to rename a device with eth%d. This bug is very hard to reproduce
and appears rarely.

The problem is coming from we don't pass a temporary buffer to
__dev_alloc_name but 'dev->name' which is modified by the function.

A detailed explanation is here:

Changelog:
 V2 : replaced strings comparison by pointers comparison
