[VLAN]: Tag vlan_group_device with net device, not ifindex.
Currently vlan group is searched using one key - the ifindex.
We'll have to lookup the vlan_group by two keys - ifindex and
net. Turning the vlan_group lookup key to struct net_device
pointer will make this process easier.
Besides, this will eliminate one more place in the networking,
that assumes that indexes are unique in the kernel.

[TUN]: Allow to register tun devices in namespace.
This is basically means that a net is set for a new device, but
actually also involves two more steps:
1. mark the tun device as "local", i.e. do not allow for it to
move across namespaces.
This is done so, since tun device is most often associated to some
file (and thus to some process) and moving the device alone is not
valid while keeping the file and the process outside. The need in
ability to move a detached persistent device is to be investigated
later.
2. get the tun device's net when tun becomes attached and put one
when it becomes detached.
This is needed to handle the case when a task owning the tun dies,
but a files lives for some more time - in this case we must not
allow for net to be freed, since its exit hook will spoil that file's
private data by unregistering the tun from under tun_chr_close.

[NETNS]: The generic per-net pointers.
Add the elastic array of void * pointer to the struct net.
The access rules are simple:
1. register the ops with register_pernet_gen_device to get
the id of your private pointer
2. call net_assign_generic() to put the private data on the
struct net (most preferably this should be done in the
->init callback of the ops registered)
3. do not store any private reference on the net_generic array;
4. do not change this pointer while the net is alive;
5. use the net_generic() to get the pointer.
When adding a new pointer, I copy the old array, replace it
with a new one and schedule the old for kfree after an RCU
grace period.
Since the net_generic explores the net->gen array inside rcu
read section and once set the net->gen->ptr[x] pointer never
changes, this grants us a safe access to generic pointers.
Quoting Paul: "... RCU is protecting -only- the net_generic
structure that net_generic() is traversing, and the [pointer]
returned by net_generic() is protected by a reference counter
in the upper-level struct net."

[NETNS]: The net-subsys IDs generator.
To make some per-net generic pointers, we need some way to address

Addressing questions about potential checkpoint/restart problems:
these IDs are "lite-offsets" within the net structure and are by no
means supposed to be exported to the userspace.
Since it will be used in the nearest future by devices only (tun,
vlan, tunnels, bridge, etc), I make it resemble the functionality
of register_pernet_device().
The new ids is stored in the *id pointer _before_ calling the init
