Under rare circumstances it may happen that a device node's name is NULL
(most likely kernel bug in some other place). In such situations anything
but helpful, if the debug printout crashes, and nobody knows what actually
happened here.
Therefore protect it by an explicit NULL check and print out an extra
warning.
