This reverts commit 176b8be10f.
The check introduced by the commit is racy, as when format_ifname() is
called, the interface may be already renamed (again) to another name.
This is typically problematic when we swap interface names:
```
ip link set aaa name tmpname
ip link set bbb name aaa
ip link set tmpname bbb
```
When networkd received the notification about name change aaa -> tmpname,
the interface is already renamed from tmpname to bbb. So, the reverted
logic skips updating Link.ifname:
```
aaa: New interface name 'tmpname' received from the kernel does not correspond with the name currently configured on the actual interface 'bbb'. Ignoring.
```
On the second notification about name change bbb -> aaa, networkd fails to
update the mapping Manager.links_by_name, as we skipped previous renaming
and the mapping still has an outdated entry for 'aaa'.
```
bbb: Interface name change detected, renamed to aaa.
aaa: Failed to manage link by its new name: File exists
aaa: Could not process link message: File exists
aaa: Failed
aaa: State changed: configured -> failed
```
By reverting the commit, the issue is fixed. But the commit intended to
fix another issue #20203. So this reintroduces #20203. Let's fix it
in a later commit.
Fixes #42527.
Reintroduces #20203.
