Subject: [PATCH net-next v4 4/5] netns: enable to specify a nsid for a get request

Combined with NETNSA_TARGET_NSID, it enables to "translate" a nsid from one
netns to a nsid of another netns.
This is useful when using NETLINK_F_LISTEN_ALL_NSID because it helps the
user to interpret a nsid received from an other netns.
