Subject: dev: Reclaim network device indexes
While making dev_new_index() return zero on overrun prevents
from infinite loop, there is no way to recovery mechanisms
since namespace ifindex only increases and never reused
from released network devices.
To address this we introduce dev_free_index() helper which
is used to reclaim released network device index when it is
smaller than last allocated index in namespace.
This also has positive side effect for equal distribution
of network devices per buckets in index hash table. That
positively affects performance of dev_get_by_index() family.
