datapath: Update sysfs links when network devices are renamed.
We create symlinks from /sys/class/net/<bridgename>/brif/<devname> to /sys/class/net/<devname>/brport, but until now we have never updated the links when network devices are renamed. This commit fixes this problem. (Only the <devname> in /sys/class/net/<bridgename>/brif/<devname> needs to be updated. Symlinks within sysfs have stable targets; that is, no matter how the object that a sysfs symlink points to moves around, the link is still maintained correctly.)
