Because `name->str` is not NULL for ordinary named pipes too.

There is an option to delegate `find_object` to the root dir obj.  In that case, I think it makes sense to change the design so that:

1. the root directory becomes a persistent object, and
2. optionally, the named pipe namespace is moved from the device to the root directory.
