The goal of this series is to ease the user to follow an interface that
moves to another netns.
After this series, with a patched iproute2:
$ ip netns
bar
foo
$ ip monitor link &
$ ip link set dummy0 netns foo
Deleted 5: dummy0: <BROADCAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group
default
link/ether 6e:a7:82:35:96:46 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff new-nsid 0 new-ifindex 6
=> new nsid: 0, new ifindex: 6 (was 5 in the previous netns)
$ ip link set eth1 netns bar
Deleted 3: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group
default
link/ether 52:54:01:12:34:57 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff new-nsid 1 new-ifindex 3
=> new nsid: 1, new ifindex: 3 (same ifindex)
$ ip netns
bar (id: 1)
foo (id: 0)
