__dev_get_by_name is currently used to either retrieve a net device reference using its name or to check if a name is already used by a registered net device (per ns). In the later case there is no need to return a reference to a net device. Introduce a new helper, netdev_name_in_use, to check if a name is currently used by a registered net device without leaking a reference the corresponding net device. This helper uses netdev_name_node_lookup instead of __dev_get_by_name as we don't need the extra logic retrieving a reference to the corresponding net device.
