dev_get_by_name() finds network device by name but it also increases the
reference count.
If a nvme-tcp queue is present and the network device driver is removed
before nvme_tcp, we will face the following continuous log:
"kernel:unregister_netdevice: waiting for <eth> to become free. Usage count = 2"
And rmmod further halts. Similar case arises during reboot/shutdown
with nvme-tcp queue present and both never completes.
To fix this, use __dev_get_by_name() which finds network device by
name without increasing any reference counter.
