This patch series includes some netns-related improvements and fixes for
RTNL and ip_tunnel, to make link creation more intuitive:

 - Creating link in another net namespace doesn't conflict with link names
   in current one.
 - Refector rtnetlink link creation. Create link in target namespace
   directly. Pass both source and link netns to drivers via newlink()
   callback.

So that

  # ip link add netns ns1 link-netns ns2 tun0 type gre ...

will create tun0 in ns1, rather than create it in ns2 and move to ns1.
And don't conflict with another interface named "tun0" in current netns.

---

v4:
 - Pack newlink() parameters to a single struct.
 - Use ynl async_msg_queue.empty() in selftest.

v3:

 - Drop "netns_atomic" flag and module parameter. Add netns parameter to
   newlink() instead, and convert drivers accordingly.
 - Move python NetNSEnter helper to net selftest lib.

v2:
 link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20241107133004.7469-1-shaw.le...
 - Check NLM_F_EXCL to ensure only link creation is affected.
 - Add self tests for link name/ifindex conflict and notifications
   in different netns.
 - Changes in dummy driver and ynl in order to add the test case.
