    batman-adv: Fix debugfs path for renamed softif · 6da7be7d
    Sven Eckelmann authored
    batman-adv is creating special debugfs directories in the init
    net_namespace for each created soft-interface (batadv net_device). But it
    is possible to rename a net_device to a completely different name then the
    original one.
    
    It can therefore happen that a user registers a new batadv net_device with
    the name "bat0". batman-adv is then also adding a new directory under
    $debugfs/batman-adv/ with the name "wlan0".
    
    The user then decides to rename this device to "bat1" and registers a
    different batadv device with the name "bat0". batman-adv will then try to
    create a directory with the name "bat0" under $debugfs/batman-adv/ again.
    But there already exists one with this name under this path and thus this
    fails. batman-adv will detect a problem and rollback the registering of
    this device.
    
    batman-adv must therefore take care of renaming the debugfs directories for
    soft-interfaces whenever it detects such a net_device rename.
