    ipip, sit: copy parms.name after register_netdevice · 72b36015

    Same fix as 731abb9c for ipip and sit tunnel.
    Commit 1c5cae81
    
     removed an explicit call to dev_alloc_name in
    ipip_tunnel_locate and ipip6_tunnel_locate, because register_netdevice
    will now create a valid name, however the tunnel keeps a copy of the
    name in the private parms structure. Fix this by copying the name back
    after register_netdevice has successfully returned.
    
    This shows up if you do a simple tunnel add, followed by a tunnel show:
    
    $ sudo ip tunnel add mode ipip remote 10.2.20.211
    $ ip tunnel
    tunl0: ip/ip  remote any  local any  ttl inherit  nopmtudisc
    tunl%d: ip/ip  remote 10.2.20.211  local any  ttl inherit
    $ sudo ip tunnel add mode sit remote 10.2.20.212
    $ ip tunnel
    sit0: ipv6/ip  remote any  local any  ttl 64  nopmtudisc 6rd-prefix 2002::/16
    sit%d: ioctl 89f8 failed: No such device
    sit%d: ipv6/ip  remote 10.2.20.212  local any  ttl inherit
