rename_device: also support dracut-style kernel cmdline configuration

There are 2 cases where this might be useful.
* On machines with initrd build without dracut-network, you can now
  still use ifname option
* On older kernels where double renaming was allowed, normal system
  replaced the name set by initrd.
