When link_net is set, use it as link netns instead of dev_net(). This prepares for rtnetlink core to create device in target netns directly, in which case the two namespaces may be different.
Convert common ip_tunnel_newlink() to accept an extra link netns argument. Don't overwrite ip_tunnel.net in ip_tunnel_init().
Why... ? see a comment below.

This is duplicate at all call sites, let's move it into ip_tunnel_newlink() by passing params.

Isn't tunnel->net always non-NULL ?
