Subject: [PATCH 1/4] netns: Tag the network flow with the network namespace
	it is in (v2)

As well as marking flows this indirectly marks the ipv4 routing cache
as every routing entry contains a flow.

It is useful to add the network namespace into flows as frequently
the routing information for ingoing and outgoing network packets is
collected into a flow structure which is then used for several functions
as it sorts out what is going on.

Changes from v1:
- remove flow.h dependency from net_namespace.h
