Hi,

Sorry for the late reply, it's been a busy week.

The idea behind this code is the following:

FreeBSD determines a type of the interface we're creating by its name,
so it's not possible to create a TAP device with name "vnet" right away.

Here, if we were requested to create an interface 'vnet%d', we pass
"tap" interface name to create a TAP interface with the first available
name (e.g. if we already have tap0 and tap1, the new one will be tap2).

Then we need to find a "vnet%d" name we can use for an interface. I
wasn't able to find a better way but going from vnet0, then vnet1 etc.

The final step would be to rename the TAP interface we just created to
the new 'vnet' name.

In case fif we were passed a full interface name (e.g. 'vnet10') instead
if a pattern (e.g. 'vnet%d'), we don't need to find a proper name and
can just rename our tap interface right away.

I will need to add a comment for that piece in the code and state that
in commit message as well.

And you're correct regarding the leak, I'll take that into account.

Unfortunately, it's declared static, so we cannot re-use it here.

Thanks for the review, I'm working on fixing issues you pointed out.
