execvp() does not return when the command succeed, hence all commands in the
batch file after the line 'ip netns exec' are not executed.

Let's fork before calling execvp().

Example:
$ cat test.batch
netns add netns1
netns exec netns1 ip l
netns
$ ip -b test.batch
1: lo: <LOOPBACK> mtu 65536 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: sit0: <NOARP> mtu 1480 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT
    link/sit 0.0.0.0 brd 0.0.0.0

All command after 'netns exec' are never executed.

With the patch:
$ ip -b test.batch
1: lo: <LOOPBACK> mtu 65536 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: sit0: <NOARP> mtu 1480 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT
    link/sit 0.0.0.0 brd 0.0.0.0
netns1

Now, existing netns are displayed.

v3: be more verbose on error (fork(), waitpid())
    when child fails, just exit to avoid double cleanning
    check WIFEXITED() and waitpid() before using WEXITSTATUS()

v2: keep exit status of the child
    add an example in the commit log

	_exit(EXIT_FAILURE);

Or else you could have buffered data in stdout buffer, and it will be
emitted twice.
