    if: Remove unnecessary validation in the SIOCSIFNAME handler
    
    A successful copyinstr() call guarantees that the returned string is
    nul-terminated.  Furthermore, the removed check would harmlessly compare
    an uninitialized byte with '\0' if the new name is shorter than
    IFNAMESIZ - 1.
