net: Rework netdev_drivername() to avoid warning.
This interface uses a temporary buffer, but for no real reason.
And now can generate warnings like:
net/sched/sch_generic.c: In function dev_watchdog
net/sched/sch_generic.c:254:10: warning: unused variable drivername
Just return driver->name directly or "".
