  Do not allow creating a ethernet device with a name over the
allowed maximum (or zero length). This is safer than silently truncating
which is what happens now.

Is above check same as "strlen(name) == 0"?

Yes, but checking for first null byte is slightly quicker. Alternative would
be to call strnlen() once.

But you are checking the not null byte here right? should it be if (!(*name))?

Hi Stephen,

I see failures in performance tests caused by this patch:
http://mails.dpdk.org/archives/test-report/2019-March/076705.html
http://mails.dpdk.org/archives/test-report/2019-March/076704.html

After applying your patch, the devices will not be probed:

'''
Zero length Ethernet device name
net_mlx5: can not allocate rte ethdev
net_mlx5: probe of PCI device 0000:12:00.1 aborted after encountering an error: Cannot allocate memory
EAL: Requested device 0000:12:00.1 cannot be used
testpmd: No probed ethernet devices
'''

Testpmd command:
./x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/build/app/test-pmd/testpmd -c 0x3 -n 4 -w 12:00.0 -w 12:00.1 -- --txd=256 --rxd=256 -i
