rte_device name only points at some location where the name is stored.
In general this storage is in the bus object or (in some buses) the devarg that
resulted in the rte_device object creation.

If we won't store the name in the bus object, then we lose the ability to
release the name later.
This is probably fine as long as we never release rte_vmbus_device objects
which is the case atm.
But I don't understand why vmbus should be an exception when comparing
to other buses.

I don’t understand why you want to put a name there if it's never used outside vmbus_scan_one().

Since you don't care about releasing rte_vmbus_device objects, I'll
rework as you suggest.
