We will convert ioctl(SIOCGARP) to RCU, and then we need to copy
dev->name which is currently protected by rtnl_lock().
This patch does the following:
1) Add seqlock netdev_rename_lock to protect dev->name
2) Add netdev_copy_name() that copies dev->name to buffer
under netdev_rename_lock
3) Use netdev_copy_name() in netdev_get_name() and drop
devnet_rename_sem

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 reStructuredText 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.
