Prevent error/backtrace from dev_rename() when changing
name of network device to the same name. This is a common
situation with udev and other scripts that bind addr to device.

Fair enough, applied.
Very timely! I'd just built/booted a 2.6.24-rc1 kernel yesterday and it spent
quite a long time with stack traces (I have 16 interfaces on the system and a
9600 baud console...I can only imagine what it would have been like on a big
system...). With the patch applied to that tree, it is now down to only three
or so stack traces related to renames that were not there on 2.6.23.mumble. Not
sure if that warrants an acked-by but feel free if it makes sense. (I'm still
really fuzzy on those, even after reading SubmittingPatches)
