Good point, maybe some text like this:

If 'netns' is 0, then the netns associated with the ctx will be used.
For the tc hooks, this is the netns of the device in the skb. For
socket hooks, this is the netns of the socket. If netns is nonzero,
then this is the netns id relative to the netns associated with the
ctx.
