only current devices, but not device names already planned for the other
half of a container's device pair. Thus, the search can result in attempting
to create a pair of devices such as veth1 and veth1, which obviously does
not work.
This patch augments the logic to be a little smarter in this regard, and should
fix one case where attempting to start a container results in an error message
of "unable to create device pair".

Seems a side effect statement is needed in this loop to exit it if we
happen to enter it, no ?

ACK, this explains the failures I've hit with duplicate veth names !
