net: dsa: use NET_NAME_PREDICTABLE for user ports with name given in DT
When a user port has a label in device tree, the corresponding netdevice is, to quote include/uapi/linux/netdevice.h, "predictably named by the kernel". This is also explicitly one of the intended use cases for NET_NAME_PREDICTABLE, quoting 685343f ("net: add name_assign_type netdev attribute"): NET_NAME_PREDICTABLE: The ifname has been assigned by the kernel in a predictable way [...] Examples include [...] and names deduced from hardware properties (including being given explicitly by the firmware). Expose that information properly for the benefit of userspace tools that make decisions based on the name_assign_type attribute, e.g. a systemd-udev rule with "kernel" in NamePolicy.
