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. snprintf(data->name) has been moved closer to the rte_ethdev_allocate() as it should use the same name.
