Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: core: Remove the dup_errno parameter in dev_prep_valid_name()

From: Yajun Deng <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 18 Jun 2024 21:17:43 +0800

netdev_name_in_use() return -EEXIST makes more sense if it's not NULL.
But dev_alloc_name() should keep the -ENFILE errno.

Remove the dup_errno parameter in dev_prep_valid_name() and add a
conditional operator to dev_alloc_name(), replace -EEXIST with
-ENFILE.
