net: hsr: prevent creation of HSR device with slaves from another netns

HSR/PRP driver does not handle correctly having slaves/interlink devices
in a different net namespace. Currently, it is possible to create a HSR
link in a different net namespace than the slaves/interlink with the
following command:

 ip link add hsr0 netns hsr-ns type hsr slave1 eth1 slave2 eth2

As there is no use-case on supporting this scenario, enforce that HSR
device link matches netns defined by IFLA_LINK_NETNSID.

The iproute2 command mentioned above will throw the following error:

 Error: hsr: HSR slaves/interlink must be on the same net namespace than HSR link.
