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.

GLIBC uses them etc.
They are guarded by ifndef __KERNEL__ so nobody will start
accidently using them in the kernel again, it's just for
userspace.

Moving netlink interface bits to linux/if.h is rather troublesome for
applications including both linux/if.h (which was changed to be included
from linux/rtnetlink.h automatically) and net/if.h.
