Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/2] net: use dev->name in netdev_pr* when it's available

netdev_name() returns dev->name only when the net_device is in
NETREG_REGISTERED state.

However, dev->name is always populated on creation, so we can easily use
it. The only caveat is that the device still has a name of type "eth%d", in
which case we cannot use this name as it'll change in the nearest future,
thus return "unnamed net_device".
