Subject: [PATCH net] net: fix sysfs symlinks of adjacent devices

From: Alexander Fomichev <[email-masked]>

From: "Alexander Y. Fomichev" <[email-masked]>

__netdev_adjacent_dev_insert may add adjacent device from another
namespace. Without proper check it leads to emergence of broken
symlink from/to device not existing in current namespace.
Fix: check net_ns is the same before netdev_adjacent_sysfs_add/del
