staging: rtl8192u: fix rmmod warn when device is renamed

Browse source

This driver creates 4 debug files under [devname] folder. The devname
could be wlan0 initially, however it could be renamed later to e.g.
enx00e04c00000. This will cause problem during debug file teardown since
it uses netdev->name, which is no longer wlan0. To solve this problem,
add a notifier to handle device renaming. Also note that we cannot
simply do debugfs_lookup to find out old dentry since by the time the
notifier is called, netdev->name is already changed to new name.
