Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] net, ip6_tunnel: enhance tunnel locate with link check

With ipip, it is possible to create an extra interface explicitly
attached to a given physical interface:

  # ip link show tunl0
  4: tunl0@...E: <NOARP> mtu 1480 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ipip 0.0.0.0 brd 0.0.0.0
  # ip link add tunl1 type ipip dev eth0
  # ip link show tunl1
  6: tunl1@...0: <NOARP> mtu 1480 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ipip 0.0.0.0 brd 0.0.0.0

But it is not possible with ip6tnl:

  # ip link show ip6tnl0
  5: ip6tnl0@...E: <NOARP> mtu 1452 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
      link/tunnel6 :: brd ::
  # ip link add ip6tnl1 type ip6tnl dev eth0
  RTNETLINK answers: File exists

This patch aims to make it possible by adding the comparaison of the
link device while trying to locate an existing tunnel.
This later permits to make use of x-netns communication by moving the
newly created tunnel in a given netns.
