dev_get_by_name() finds network device by name but it also increases the
reference count.
If a nvme-tcp queue is present and the network device driver is removed
before nvme_tcp, we will face the following continuous log:
"kernel:unregister_netdevice: waiting for <eth> to become free. Usage count = 2"
And rmmod further halts. Similar case arises during reboot/shutdown
with nvme-tcp queue present and both never completes.
To fix this, use __dev_get_by_name() which finds network device by
name without increasing any reference counter.

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.
