Subject: [iproute PATCH] rdma: Fix for ineffective check in add_filter()

With 'name' field defined as array in struct filters, it will always
contain a value irrespective of whether a name was assigned or not.

Fix this by turning the field into a const char pointer.

Fixes: 8cd644095842a ("devlink: Add support for devlink resource abstraction")
