Subject: [PATCH 09/10] tun: There is no longer any need to deny changing network namespaces


With the awkward case between free_netdev and dev_chr_close fixed
there is no longer any need to limit tun and tap devices to the
network namespace they were created it.  So remove the
NETIF_F_NETNS_LOCAL flag on the network device.
