rtnetlink: pass link_net to the newlink handler
When IFLA_LINK_NETNSID is used, the netdevice should be built in this link netns and moved at the end to another netns (pointed by the socket netns or IFLA_NET_NS_[PID|FD]). Existing user of the newlink handler will use the netns argument (src_net) to find a link netdevice or to check some other information into the link netns. For example, to find a netdevice, two information are required: an ifindex (usually from IFLA_LINK) and a netns (this link netns). Note: when using IFLA_LINK_NETNSID and IFLA_NET_NS_[PID|FD], a user may create a netdevice that stands in netnsX and with its link part in netnsY, by sending a rtnl message from netnsZ.
