[PATCH (resend)] Don't create tunnels with '%' in name.

[PATCH (resend)] Don't create tunnels with '%' in name.

[Pavel Emelyanov]

Four tunnel drivers (ip_gre, ipip, ip6_tunnel and sit) can
receive a pre-defined name for a device from the userspace.
Since these drivers call the register_netdevice() (rtnl_lock,
is held), which does _not_ generate the device's name, this 
name may contain a '%' character.

Not sure how bad is this to have a device with a '%' in its
name, but all the other places either use the register_netdev(),
which call the dev_alloc_name(), or explicitly call the 
dev_alloc_name() before registering, i.e. do not allow for 
such names.

This had to be prior to the commit 34cc7b, but I forgot to
number the patches and this one got lost, sorry.

Applied, thanks Pavel.

I've already sent a pull request to Linus an hour ago, so
this will get in next time around.
