When registering new ppp interface via PPPIOCNEWUNIT ioctl then kernel has

Kernel in this case register new interface with name "ppp<id>" where <id>
is the ppp unit id, which can be obtained via PPPIOCGUNIT ioctl. This
applies also in the case when registering new ppp interface via rtnl
without supplying IFLA_IFNAME.
