Don't bother, it looks ok as is. the problem is you would have
to cast it when calling free.

       struct netdev_name_node __rcu *name_node;

You might also want to explictly init the hlist node rather
than relying on the fact that zero is an empty node ptr.

 
 static struct netdev_name_node *netdev_name_node_alloc(struct net_device *dev,
-                                                      char *name)
+                                                      const char *name)
 {
        struct netdev_name_node *name_node;
 
-       name_node = kzalloc(sizeof(*name_node), GFP_KERNEL);
+       name_node = kmalloc(sizeof(*name_node));
        if (!name_node)
                return NULL;
+
+       INIT_HLIST_NODE(&name_node->hlist);
        name_node->dev = dev;
        name_node->name = name;
        return name_node;
