[IP_TUNNEL]: Don't limit the number of tunnels with generic name explicitly.
Use the added dev_alloc_name() call to create tunnel device name, rather than iterate in a hand-made loop with an artificial limit. Thanks Patrick for noticing this. [ The way this works is, when the device is actually registered, the generic code noticed the '%' in the name and invokes dev_alloc_name() to fully resolve the name. -DaveM ] Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S.
