[ Upstream commit ec061546c6cffbb8929495bba3953f0cc5e177fa ]
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.
