net: loopback: use NET_NAME_PREDICTABLE for name_assign_type
[ Upstream commit 31d929de5a112ee1b977a89c57de74710894bbbf ]
When the name_assign_type attribute was introduced (commit
685343fc3ba6, "net: add name_assign_type netdev attribute"), the
loopback device was explicitly mentioned as one which would make use
of NET_NAME_PREDICTABLE:
The name_assign_type attribute gives hints where the interface name of a
given net-device comes from. These values are currently defined:
...
NET_NAME_PREDICTABLE:
The ifname has been assigned by the kernel in a predictable way
that is guaranteed to avoid reuse and always be the same for a
given device. Examples include statically created devices like
the loopback device [...]
Switch to that so that reading /sys/class/net/lo/name_assign_type
produces something sensible instead of returning -EINVAL.
