[INET]: Don't create tunnels with '%' in name.
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.
