This new revision of the patch series reworks the NETLINK_LISTEN_ALL_NSID workaround
by using an (eventual) autoreferential nsid as NETNSID_LOCAL for non-system devices.

The discovery process is triggered on RTM_NEWNSID arrival and the resulting local
netnsid, if found, is cached thereafter.

This will allow the correct parsing of local RTM events netnsid value even when using
NETLINK_LISTEN_ALL_NSID when a self nsid is present in the local netns.

Best Regards,
Matteo Perin
