3.16.7-ckt23 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
commit b7bb110008607a915298bf0f47d25886ecb94477 upstream.
Some users of rfkill, like NFC and cfg80211, use a dynamic name when allocating rfkill, in those cases dev_name(). Therefore, the pointer passed to rfkill_alloc() might not be valid forever, I specifically found the case that the rfkill name was quite obviously an invalid pointer (or at least garbage) when the wiphy had been renamed.
Fix this by making a copy of the rfkill name in rfkill_alloc().
