Netdevice name isn't some random junk you get from userspace, so BUG is fine.

It IS for bluetooth, see net/bluetooth/bnep/core.c: bnep_add_connection() and
net/bluetooth/bnep/sock.c: bnep_sock_ioctl(). 

If bluetooth wants to allow something so foolish, then it's bluetooth's
responsibility to sanity check the arguments before blinding passing
them into kernel APIs which expect sane inputs.

I'm not applying this.
