[NET]: netlink support for moving devices between network namespaces.
The simplest thing to implement is moving network devices between
namespaces. However with the same attribute IFLA_NET_NS_PID we can
easily implement creating devices in the destination network
namespace as well. However that is a little bit trickier so this
patch sticks to what is simple and easy.
A pid is used to identify a process that happens to be a member
of the network namespace we want to move the network device to.
