plip: fix parport_register_device name parameter
Plip passes a string "name" that is allocated on stack to
parport_register_device. parport_register_device holds the pointer to
"name" and when the registering function exits, it points nowhere.
On some machine, this bug causes bad names to appear in /proc, such as
/proc/sys/dev/parport/parport0/devices/T^/�X^/�, on others, the plip
proc node is completely missing.
The patch also fixes documentation to note this requirement.
