nvme-tcp: use __dev_get_by_name instead dev_get_by_name for OPT_HOST_IFACE
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.
