The HSR generic netlink family sets .netnsok = true. HSR devices can
live in network namespaces other than init_net.
Two async notifiers broadcast events with genlmsg_multicast(). They
are hsr_nl_ringerror() and hsr_nl_nodedown(). That helper delivers
only on the default genl socket in init_net. So the events always land
in init_net. The network namespace of the device does not matter.
This has two effects. A listener in the device's own namespace never
sees its own ring error and node down events. A privileged listener in
init_net receives events from HSR devices in other namespaces. The
payload carries the peer node MAC (HSR_A_NODE_ADDR) and the slave port
ifindex (HSR_A_IFINDEX).
Switch both callers to genlmsg_multicast_netns(). Other families with
.netnsok = true already do this. Examples are gtp, ovpn, team,
batman-adv, netdev-genl, ethtool and handshake.
hsr_nl_ringerror() already has the slave port. It uses
dev_net(port->dev). hsr_nl_nodedown() takes the namespace from the
master port via hsr_port_get_hsr().
