I'd go for "%u:%u %u:%u" to make the 'grouping' of netns and ifindex
more obvious. But no strong feelings.

since you're under rtnl_lock you can use __get_device_by_index(),
it doesn't increase the refcount so you won't have to worry about
releasing it.

Shouldn't we check if peer is NULL? Otherwise we can get into weird
situations where we link A<>B then B<>C and then the pointers look like
this A->B<>C. When B gets freed A's pointer won't get cleared.
