[PATCH iproute2 3/4] bridge: Allow to easy change network namespace

[Vadim Kochan <vadim4j@gmail.com>]

From: Vadim Kochan <vadim4j@gmail.com>

Added new '-netns' option to simplify executing following cmd:

    ip netns exec NETNS bridge OPTIONS COMMAND OBJECT

    to

    bridge -n[etns] NETNS OPTIONS COMMAND OBJECT

e.g.:

    bridge -net vnet0 fdb
