Title:
  Intel mediated device info doesn't provide a name attribute

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  In Progress
Status in OpenStack Compute (nova) train series:

Bug description:
  When testing some Xeon server for virtual GPU support, I saw that Nova
  provides an exception as the i915 driver doesn't provide a name for
  mdev types :

  For example :

  [root@mymachine ~]# ll /sys/class/mdev_bus/0000\:00\:02.0/mdev_supported_types/i915-GVTg_V5_8/
  total 0
  -r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Sep 22 14:18 available_instances
  --w-------. 1 root root 4096 Sep 23 06:01 create
  -r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Sep 23 05:43 description
  -r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Sep 22 14:18 device_api
  drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root    0 Sep 23 06:01 devices

  When looking at the kernel driver API documentation
  https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/driver-api/vfio-mediated-
  device.html it says that the "name" attribute is optional:

  "name

  This attribute should show human readable name. This is optional
  attribute."

  
  The fix should be easy, we don't use this attribute in Nova.
