Fix man page to use new naming convention
I believe that this request should be within the SRU policy as these changes
almost entirely are to allow biosdevname to work in new hardware: "For Long
Term Support releases we regularly want to enable new hardware. Such changes
are appropriate provided that we can ensure to not affect upgrades on existing
hardware. For example, modaliases of newly introduced drivers must not overlap
with previously shipped drivers."
