[EXTERNAL] [PATCH v3 10/11] bus/vmbus: store name in bus specific device

> The device name is allocated with strdup() during scan and freed in several
> places. However, when this bus cleanup is converted to use the EAL generic
> helper, freeing the device object will require a custom helper to also free the
> device name (and for this, a cast will be needed).
> 
> Instead, add an embedded name array to rte_vmbus_device structure (char
> name[RTE_DEV_NAME_MAX_LEN]) which is sufficient for all VMBUS device
> names (UUID format: 36 characters, or shorter legacy format).
> 
> This simplifies the device freeing to a simple free() call.
