When ip -all netns {del,exec} are called and no netns is present, ip
exit with status 0. However this does not happen if no netns has been
created since boot time: in that case, indeed, the NETNS_RUN_DIR is not
present and netns_foreach() exit with code 1.

$ ls /var/run/netns
ls: cannot access '/var/run/netns': No such file or directory
$ ip -all netns exec ip link show
$ echo $?
1
$ ip -all netns del
$ echo $?
1
$ ip netns add test
$ ip netns del test
$ ip -all netns del
$ echo $?
0
$ ls -a /var/run/netns
.  ..

This leaves us in the unpleasant situation where the same command, when
no netns is present, does the same stuff (in this case, nothing), but
exit with two different statuses.

Fix this treating ENOENT in a different way from other errors, similarly
to what we already do in ipnetns.c netns_identify_pid()
