net: trust the bitmap in __dev_alloc_name()

Browse source 
Prior to restructuring __dev_alloc_name() handled both printf
and non-printf names. In a clever attempt at code reuse it
always prints the name into a buffer and checks if it's
a duplicate.

Trust the bitmap, and return an error if its full.

This shrinks the possible ID space by one from 32K to 32K - 1,
as previously the max value would have been tried as a valid ID.
It seems very unlikely that anyone would care as we heard
no requests to increase the max beyond 32k.
