V4L/DVB (13549): v4l: Add video_device_node_name function

Many drivers access the device number (video_device::v4l2_devnode::num)
in order to print the video device node name. Add and use a helper
function to retrieve the video_device node name.

There are a few useful helper functions:

struct v4l2_device *v4l2_dev = vdev->v4l2_dev;
- Device node name
The video_device node kernel name can be retrieved using
const char *video_device_node_name(struct video_device *vdev);
The name is used as a hint by userspace tools such as udev. The function
should be used where possible instead of accessing the video_device::num and
video_device::minor fields.
