net-2.6 : V2 - fix dev_get_valid_name
the commit:
commit d90310243fd750240755e217c5faa13e24f41536

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
