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 55a5ec9b ("Revert "net: core: dev_get_valid_name is now the same as dev_alloc_name_ns"") and commit 029b6d14 ("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.
