This series adds a way to see if an interface cannot be moved to another netns.

v4 -> v5:
 - rebase on top of net-next

v3 -> v4:
 - add patch #1 to the series
 - update following patches accordingly

v2 -> v3:
 - don't copy patch #1 to [e-mail]
 - remove the 'Fixes:' tag

v1 -> v2:
 - target the series to net-next
 - patch #1:
   + use NLA_REJECT for the nl policy
   + update the rt link spec
 - patch #2: plumb extack in __dev_change_net_namespace()
