Subject: [PATCH v2] rtc: class: check return value when calling dev_set_name()

I got a null-ptr-deref report when doing fault injection test:

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000
RIP: 0010:strcmp+0xc/0x20
Call Trace:
 __devm_rtc_register_device.cold.7+0x16a/0x2df
 rv3029_probe+0x4b1/0x770 [rtc_rv3029c2]
 rv3029_i2c_probe+0x141/0x180 [rtc_rv3029c2]
 i2c_device_probe+0xa07/0xbb0
 really_probe+0x285/0xc30

If dev_set_name() fails, dev_name() is null, it causes null-ptr-deref,
we need check the return value of dev_set_name().
