Patch 01 avoids link name conflict in different netns.

To achieve 2), there're mainly 3 steps:

 - Patch 02 packs newlink() parameters into a struct, including
   the original "src_net" along with more netns context. No semantic
   changes are introduced.
 - Patch 03 ~ 09 converts device drivers to use the explicit netns
   extracted from params.
 - Patch 10 ~ 11 removes the old netns parameter, and converts
   rtnetlink to create device in target netns directly.

Patch 12 ~ 13 adds some tests for link name and link netns.
Nice work, thank you!
