pktgen: Fix device name compares

Commit e6fce5b9

 (pktgen: multiqueue etc.) tried to relax
the pktgen restriction of one device per kernel thread, adding a '@'
tag to device names.

Problem is we dont perform check on full pktgen device name.
This allows adding many time same 'device' to pktgen thread

 pgset "add_device eth0@0"

one session later :

 pgset "add_device eth0@0"

(This doesnt find previous device)

This consumes ~1.5 MBytes of vmalloc memory per round and also triggers
this warning :

Solution to this problem is to use a odevname field (includes @ tag and suffix),
instead of using netdevice name.
