Renaming a netdev-trigger-tracked interface was resulting in an
unbalanced dev_hold().
Example:
> iw phy phy0 interface add foo type __ap
> echo netdev > trigger
> echo foo > device_name
> ip link set foo name bar
> iw dev bar del
[ 237.355366] unregister_netdevice: waiting for bar to become free. Usage count = 1
[ 247.435362] unregister_netdevice: waiting for bar to become free. Usage count = 1
[ 257.545366] unregister_netdevice: waiting for bar to become free. Usage count = 1
Above problem was caused by trigger checking a dev->name which obviously
changes after renaming an interface. It meant missing all further events
including the NETDEV_UNREGISTER which is required for calling dev_put().
This change fixes that by:
1) Comparing device struct *address* for notification-filtering purposes
2) Dropping unneeded NETDEV_CHANGENAME code (no behavior change)
Fixes:

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
