Jakub Kicinski 556c755a4d net: make dev_alloc_name() call dev_prep_valid_name()
__dev_alloc_name() handles both the sprintf and non-sprintf
target names. This complicates the code.

dev_prep_valid_name() already handles the non-sprintf case,
before calling __dev_alloc_name(), make the only other caller
also go thru dev_prep_valid_name(). This way we can drop
the non-sprintf handling in __dev_alloc_name() in one of
the next changes.

commit 55a5ec9b77 ("Revert "net: core: dev_get_valid_name is now the same as dev_alloc_name_ns"") and
commit 029b6d1405 ("Revert "net: core: maybe return -EEXIST in __dev_alloc_name"")
tell us that we can't start returning -EEXIST from dev_alloc_name()
on name duplicates. Bite the bullet and pass the expected errno to
dev_prep_valid_name().

dev_prep_valid_name() must now propagate out the allocated id
for printf names.

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.
