If we don't assign 'id' for nic device, device's name will be $model.$idx.
The $idx is always 0 if we use new style of cmdline. This problem was
introduced by commit d33d93b2.

eg:
 # qemu-upstream -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=h1 -netdev tap,id=h1 \
                    -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=h2 -netdev tap,id=h2 ..
 (qemu) info network
 virtio-net-pci.0: index=0,type=nic,model=virtio-net-pci,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:56
  \ h1: index=0,type=tap,ifname=tap0,script=/etc/qemu-ifup,downscript=/etc/qemu-ifdown
 virtio-net-pci.0: index=0,type=nic,model=virtio-net-pci,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:57
  \ h2: index=0,type=tap,ifname=tap1,script=/etc/qemu-ifup,downscript=/etc/qemu-ifdown

This patch remove the check of hub, allocate increased id for all devices
that have same model.

I looked a bit more into this.  Markus added NIC naming in
53e51d85ef1fdd295c8f09792b8e7490c148f4b3.  Please include this commit ID
in the commit message.

My hub patches incorrectly dropped Markus' fix and I actually documented
this:

+/**
+ * Generate a name for net client
+ *
+ * Only net clients created with the legacy -net option need this.
Naming is
+ * mandatory for net clients created with -netdev.
+ */
 static char *assign_name(VLANClientState *vc1, const char *model)

Please update this comment to say "Only net clients created with the legacy
-net option and NICs need this".

Please delete the incorrect comment about compatibility when dropping the
net_hub_id_for_client() call.

There are two kinds of names around here: network client names and
device (qdev) IDs.  Commit message could be tweaked to make it clearer
that this is about network client names.

As a general rule in QEMU, we call all objects "device", and all classes
"driver" %-/

Added it to non-VLAN clients, actually.  It already existed for VLAN
clients.
