[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 ]
