vfio/pci: Require vfio_device_ops.name

vfio-pci-core code makes use of the vfio_device_ops.name field in order
to set a default driver_override for VFs created on a user-owned PF.
This avoids default driver matching, which might otherwise bind those
VFs to native drivers.

The mechanism for this currently uses kasprintf(), which will set
driver_override to the literal "(null)" if name is NULL.  This is
effective in sequestering the device, but presents a challenging debug
situation to differentiate driver_override being set to "(null)" versus
being NULL and interpreted as "(null)" via the sysfs show attribute.

There's also a tree-wide effort to convert to generic driver_override
support, where passing NULL will generate an error, resulting in a
WARN_ON without setting any driver_override.

All drivers making use of vfio-pci-core already set a driver name,
therefore by requiring this behavior, all of these corner cases are
rendered moot.  This is expected to have no impact on current
in-kernel drivers.
