[PATCH rdma-next 05/13] RDMA/nldev: Allow setting the device name while changing net namespace

From: Jiri Pirko <redacted> Accept RDMA_NLDEV_ATTR_DEV_NAME together with RDMA_NLDEV_NET_NS_FD so a netlink move can rename the device in the destination namespace. Keep the name semantics aligned with the existing RDMA rename path.
