Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/5] rtnetlink: Lookup device in target netns when creating link

When creating link, lookup for existing device in target net namespace
instead of current one.
For example, two links created by:

  # ip link add dummy1 type dummy
  # ip link add netns ns1 dummy1 type dummy

should have no conflict since they are in different namespaces.
