netpoll: Fix device name check in netpoll_setup()
Apparently netpoll_setup() assumes that netpoll.dev_name is a pointer when checking if the device name is set: if (np->dev_name) { ... However the field is a character array, therefore the condition always yields true. Check instead whether the first byte of the array has a non-zero value.
