Subject: [PATCH 4/9] netfilter: nf_tables: use dev->name directly

From: Pablo Neira Ayuso <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 24 Jul 2018 18:31:28 +0200

From: Florian Westphal <[email-masked]>

no need to store the name in separate area.

Furthermore, it uses kmalloc but not kfree and most accesses seem to treat
it as char[IFNAMSIZ] not char *.

Remove this and use dev->name instead.

In case event zeroed dev, just omit the name in the dump.

Fixes: d92191aa84e5f1 ("netfilter: nf_tables: cache device name in flowtable object")
