Subject: [PATCH iproute2] netns: make /var/run/netns bind-mount recursive

When ip netns {add|delete} is first run, it bind-mounts /var/run/netns
on top of itself, then marks it as shared. However, if there are already
bind-mounts in the directory from other tools, these would not be
propagated. Fix this by recursively bind-mounting.
