If sdata doesn't have a valid dev (e.g. in case of monitor
vif), the vif_name field was initialized with (a length of)
some short string, but later was set to a different,
potentially larger one.

This resulted in out-of-bounds write, which usually
appeared as garbage in the trace log.

Simply trace sdata->name, as it should always have the
correct name for both cases.
