Title:
  Create server API accepts invalid device name in bdm

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Branch: master

  Steps to repro:
  1. Boot a new instance from volume, specifying an incorrect device name.For example, following JSON request body containing a space in the device name:

  {"server": {"name": "ins001", "imageRef":
  "f29a46e1-77f9-4f59-9003-cb723a4c09db", "block_device_mapping":
  [{"volume_size": "1", "volume_id":
  "0aeb1092-9946-4a91-9c17-af3cf4b24dc4", "delete_on_termination": "0",
  "device_name": "vd a"}], "flavorRef": "1", "max_count": 1,
  "min_count": 1}}

  2. Monitor the newly spawned instance status.

  Expected Behavior:
  Nova API should return a 400 Bad Request response (since device name is invalid i.e. in this case contains a space).

  Actual Behavior:
  Nova API returns a 202 Accepted and the instance creation fails.
