rtnetlink: enable IFLA_IF_NETNSID in do_setlink()
RTM_{NEW,SET}LINK already allow operations on other network namespaces by identifying the target network namespace through IFLA_NET_NS_{FD,PID} properties. This is done by looking for the corresponding properties in do_setlink(). Extend do_setlink() to also look for the IFLA_IF_NETNSID property. This introduces no functional changes since all callers of do_setlink() currently block IFLA_IF_NETNSID by reporting an error before they reach do_setlink(). This introduces the helpers: static struct net *rtnl_link_get_net_by_nlattr(struct net *src_net, struct nlattr *tb[]) static struct net *rtnl_link_get_net_capable(const struct sk_buff *skb, struct net *src_net, struct nlattr *tb[], int cap) to simplify permission checks and target network namespace retrieval for RTM_* requests that already support IFLA_NET_NS_{FD,PID} but get extended to IFLA_IF_NETNSID. To perserve backwards compatibility the helpers look for IFLA_NET_NS_{FD,PID} properties first before checking for IFLA_IF_NETNSID.
