Subject: [Patch net-next 1/3] ipv4: fail early when creating netdev named all or default

We create a proc dir for each network device, this will cause
conflicts when the devices have name "all" or "default".

Rather than emitting an ugly kernel warning, we could just
fail earlier by checking the device name.
