Subject: net: make __dev_alloc_name consider all name nodes when looking for

References: bsc#1180103

Git-commit: 6c015a2256801597fadcbc11d287774c9c512fa5

Patch-mainline: v5.12-rc5

__dev_alloc_name(), when supplied with a name containing '%d', will search for the first

available device number to filled in the name.

Since commit ff92741270bf8b6e78aa885f166b68c7a67ab13a ("net: introduce

name_node struct to be used in hashlist") network devices may have alternate

names.  __dev_alloc_name() does take these alternate names into account when looking

for the device number, possibly generating a name that is already taken, failing with

-ENFILE as a result.

This can easily be reproduced:

	# rmmod dummy 2>/dev/null

	# ip link property add dev lo altname dummy0

	# modprobe dummy num_dummies=1

	modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'dummy': Too many open files in system

Instead of creating a device named dummy1, the operation fails.

Fix this by checking all the names in the dev->name_node list, not just dev->name.
