[Ben Hutchings]

3.16.60-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Dumazet <eduma...@google.com>

commit db7a65e3ab78e5b1c4b17c0870ebee35a4ee3257 upstream.

Use valid_name() to make sure user does not provide illegal
device name.

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")

[bwh: Backported to 3.16:
 - Don't touch err as ip6_tnl_create() does not return an error code
 - Adjust context]
