Subject: [PATCH 1/5] rtnetlink: allow RTM_SETLINK to reference other namespaces

Netlink currently has partial support for acting on interfaces outside
the current namespace.  This patch extends RTM_SETLINK with this
functionality.

The current implementation has an unfortunate semantic ambiguity in the
IFLA_TARGET_NETNSID attribute.  For setting the interface namespace, one
may pass the IFLA_TARGET_NETNSID attribute with the namespace to move the
interface to.  This conflicts with the meaning of this attribute for all
other methods where IFLA_TARGET_NETNSID identifies the namespace in
which to search for the interface to act upon:  the pair (namespace,
ifindex) is generally given by (IFLA_TARGET_NETNSID, ifi->ifi_index).

In order to change the namespace of an interface outside the current
namespace, we would need to specify both an IFLA_TARGET_NETNSID
attribute and a namespace to move to using IFLA_NET_NS_[PID|FD].  This is
currently now allowed as only one of these three flags may be specified.

This patch loosens the restrictions a bit but tries to maintain
compatibility with the previous behaviour:
i)  IFLA_TARGET_NETNSID may be passed together with one of
IFLA_NET_NS_[PID|FD]
ii)  IFLA_TARGET_NETNSID is primarily defined to be the namespace in
which to find the interface to act upon
iii)  In order to maintain backwards compatibility, if the device is not
found in the specified namespace, we also look for it in the current
namespace
iv)  If only IFLA_TARGET_NETNSID is given, the device is still moved to
that namespace, as before; and, as before, IFLA_NET_NS_[PID|FD] take
precedence as namespace selectors

Ideally, IFLA_TARGET_NETNSID would only ever have been used to select the
namespace of the device to act upon.  A separate flag, IFLA_NET_NS_ID
would have been made available for changing namespaces
