Subject: [PATCH] net: move altnames together with the netdevice

The altname nodes are currently not moved to the new netns
when netdevice itself moves:

  [ ~]# ip netns add test
  [ ~]# ip -netns test link add name eth0 type dummy
  [ ~]# ip -netns test link property add dev eth0 altname some-name
  [ ~]# ip -netns test link show dev some-name
  2: eth0: <BROADCAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
      link/ether 1e:67:ed:19:3d:24 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
      altname some-name
  [ ~]# ip -netns test link set dev eth0 netns 1
  [ ~]# ip link
  ...
  3: eth0: <BROADCAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
      link/ether 02:40:88:62:ec:b8 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
      altname some-name
  [ ~]# ip li show dev some-name
  Device "some-name" does not exist.

Remove them from the hash table when device is unlisted
and add back when listed again.
