When creating link, lookup for existing device in target net namespace
instead of current one.
For example, two links created by:

  # ip link add dummy1 type dummy
  # ip link add netns ns1 dummy1 type dummy

should have no conflict since they are in different namespaces.

Technically, this changes uAPI behaviour.

Let's say a user wants to

  1) move the device X in the current netns to another if exists, otherwise
  2) create a new device X in the target netns

This can be achieved by setting NLM_F_CREATE and IFLA_NET_NS_PID,
IFLA_NET_NS_FD, or IFLA_TARGET_NETNSID.

But with this change, the device X in the current netns will not be moved,
and a new device X is created in the target netns.

You're right, what about testing for NLM_F_EXCL aslo?
