Roopa, I tested this patch and problem goes away.  (It's missing a
break statement, BTW).  I didn't look into the correctness of the
patch, but at first glance it seems liek the right thing to do.  Maybe
breaking out the renaming portions into sub-functions could keep the
work done in NETDEV_CHANGENAME to a minimum.

Are you sending official fix?
