If "keep" policy is specified, and the interface has a name that is
NET_NAME_USER or NET_NAME_RENAMED, we stop processing rules. "keep" should
probably be specified either first or last depending on the preference.
This partially reimplements 55b6530baa, in the
sense that if the "keep" policy is not specified, and if the interface has
a NamingPolicy, it will be renamed, even if it had a name previously.
So this breaks backwards compatibility in this case, but that's more in line
with what users expect.
Closes#9006.
Newer kernels export meta-information about the origin of an ifname. Respect this
from the ifname rename logic. We do not rename any interfaces that was originally
named by userspace, nor once which have already been renamed from userspace.
Moreover, we optionally do not (the default) rename interfaces which the kernel
claims to have named in a predictable way.
