[RFC PATCH net-next 3/9] net: export netdev_name_node_lookup

[Antoine Tenart <atenart@kernel.org>]

Export netdev_name_node_lookup for use outside of net/core/dev.c. Prior
to this __dev_get_by_name was used for both name collision detection and
to retrieve a net device reference. We now want to allow a difference in
behaviour between the two, hence exporting netdev_name_node_lookup. (It
will be used in the next commits).
