[PATCH net-next v5 4/4] rtnl: allow to create device with IFLA_LINK_NETNSID set

[Nicolas Dichtel <nicolas.dichtel@xxxxxxxxx>]

This patch adds the ability to create a netdevice in a specified netns and
then move it into the final netns. In fact, it allows to have a symetry between
get and set rtnl messages.
