net: Fix undefined behavior in netdev name allocation
Cited commit removed the strscpy() call and kept the snprintf() only.
It is common to use 'dev->name' as the format string before a netdev is
registered, this results in 'res' and 'name' pointers being equal.
According to POSIX, if copying takes place between objects that overlap
as a result of a call to sprintf() or snprintf(), the results are
undefined.
Add back the strscpy() and use 'buf' as an intermediate buffer.
Fixes: 7ad17b0 ("net: trust the bitmap in __dev_alloc_name()")
