[v3] ethdev: check for invalid device name
Checks
Commit Message
Do not allow creating a ethernet device with a name over the
allowed maximum (or zero length). This is safer than silently truncating
which is what happens now.

'strlen' does not check against NULL pointer and it will crash if NULL provided.
This is internal API, so the input is not completely out of our control but
still as an API if we need to check zero length, shouldn't we check for NULL
pointer as well?

Maybe, but none of the other DPDK API's check for NULL in name fields.
Probably best to just crash.
