This patch makes sure netconsole clears dev_name for devices bound by mac
in order to allow calling setup_netpoll on targets that have previously
been cleaned up (in order to support resuming deactivated targets).

This is required as netpoll_setup populates dev_name even when devices are
matched via mac address. The cleanup is done inside netconsole as bound
by mac is a netconsole concept.
