dcb: use __dev_get_by_name instead of dev_get_by_name to find interface

The following call chain indicates that dcb_doit() is protected
under rtnl_lock. So if we use __dev_get_by_name() instead of
dev_get_by_name() to find interface handlers in it, this would
help us avoid to change interface reference counter.

rtnetlink_rcv()
  rtnl_lock()
  netlink_rcv_skb()
    dcb_doit()
  rtnl_unlock()
