Subject: [PATCH] iproute2: add support for IFLA_NET_NS_PID in ip link v2

Ah, ah, of course I forgot to refresh the patch before sending it. :)
There was still a small typo in the patch: a '}' was put instead of 
a '|' in 'ip link' usage string. 

Here is the updated patch.
Sorry for this.

Benjamin

Description:
------------

This patch adds support for the IFLA_NET_NS_PID type. It is used to 
move network devices between network namespaces.

The syntax is: 
ip link set DEVICE netns PID

PID is the pid of a process in the target network namespace.

(Daniel Lezcano is the original author).
