Store the device name in dev->data->name, to have symmetrical behavior between rte_pmd_tap_probe(name) and rte_pmd_tap_remove(name).
The netdevice name (linux interface name) is stored in the name field of struct pmd_internals. There's no need to allocate an rte_eth_dev_data, as it is done in rte_eth_dev_allocate()/rte_eth_dev_data_alloc().
