driver: dont update dev_name via device_add path

Browse source 
notice one system /proc/iomem some entries missed the name for pci_devices

it turns that dev->dev.kobj name is changed after device_add.

for pci code: via acpi_pci_root_driver.ops.add (aka acpi_pci_root_add)
==> pci_acpi_scan_root is used to scan pci bus/device, and at the same
time we read the resource for pci_dev in the pci_read_bases, we have
res->name = pci_name(pci_dev); pci_name is calling dev_name.

later via acpi_pci_root_driver.ops.start (aka acpi_pci_root_start) ==>
pci_bus_add_device to add all pci_dev in kobj tree.  pci_bus_add_device
will call device_add.

actually in device_add

        /* first, register with generic layer. */
        error = kobject_add(&dev->kobj, dev->kobj.parent, "%s", dev_name(dev));
        if (error)
                goto Error;

will get one new name for that kobj, old name is freed.

[Impact: fix corrupted names in /proc/iomem ]
