Subject[PATCH v3 5/6] net: namespace: allow setting NSIDs outside current namespace
Date
Currently it is only possible to move an interface to a new namespace if
the destination namespace has an ID in the interface's current namespace.
If the interface already resides outside of the current namespace, then
we may need to assign the destination namespace an ID in the interface's
namespace in order to effect the move.

This patch allows namespace ID's to be created outside of the current
namespace. With this, the following is possible:

i) Our namespace is 'A'.
ii) The interface resides in namespace 'B'
iii) We can assign an ID for NS 'A' in NS 'B'
iv) We can then move the interface into our own namespace.

and

i) Our namespace is 'A'; namespaces 'B' and 'C' also exist
ii) We can assign an ID for namespace 'C' in namespace 'B'
iii) We can then create a VETH interface directly in namespace 'B' with
the other end in 'C', all without ever leaving namespace 'A'
