[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 ]
