No, this breaks the current behavior.
Look at alloc_netid(). If reqid is < 0, the kernel allocates an nsid with no
constraint. If reqid is >= 0, it tries to alloc the specified nsid.

I would prefer to put this test in get_target_net.

Maybe using NETNSA_NSID_NOT_ASSIGNED is better? Same for the initialization of
this variable.

This is not needed. get_net_ns_by_id() returns NULL if id is < 0.
