[PATCH net-next] r8169: keep LED device name valid after setup

rtl8168_setup_ldev() and rtl8125_setup_led_ldev() build the LED device
name in a stack buffer and assign it to led_cdev->name.

The LED class device registration path reads led_cdev->name after it has
been assigned, and struct led_classdev stores the name as part of the LED
class device state. Do not keep a pointer to a setup function's stack
buffer there.

Store the name in struct r8169_led_classdev instead, so it remains valid
for the lifetime of the LED class device.

I noticed this while reviewing the r8169 driver code. The LED name is
stored in led_cdev->name, but the current buffer lifetime does not match
the LED class device lifetime.

I have not seen a crash from this, but led_cdev->name points to a stack
buffer after setup returns. Storing the name in the per-LED private object
keeps the pointer lifetime aligned with the LED class device.
