[v2] batctl: Add support for network namespaces
Commit Message
When running within a network namespace, access to files within
debugfs have to take into account the network name space. Each
namespace has its own directory under
/sys/kernel/debug/batman_adv/netns.
Add example how this can be used in the README.

+batctl and network name spaces
+==============================
+
+The batman-adv kernel module is netns aware. Mesh instances can be
+created in name spaces, and interfaces in that name space added to the
+mesh. The mesh interface cannot be moved between name spaces, as is
+typical for virtual interfaces.
+
+The following example creates two network namespaces, and uses veth
+pairs to connect them together into a mesh of three nodes.
+
+EMU1="ip netns exec emu1"
+EMU2="ip netns exec emu2"
+
+ip netns add emu1
+ip netns add emu2
+
+ip link add emu1-veth1 type veth peer name emu2-veth1
+ip link set emu1-veth1 netns emu1
+ip link set emu2-veth1 netns emu2
+
+$EMU1 ip link set emu1-veth1 name veth1
+$EMU2 ip link set emu2-veth1 name veth1
+
+$EMU1 ip link set veth1 up
+$EMU2 ip link set veth1 up
+
+ip link add emu1-veth2 type veth peer name veth2
+ip link set emu1-veth2 netns emu1
+$EMU1 ip link set emu1-veth2 name veth2
+
+$EMU1 ip link set veth2 up
+ip link set veth2 up
+
+$EMU1 batctl if add veth1
+$EMU1 batctl if add veth2
+$EMU1 ip link set bat0 up
+
+$EMU2 batctl if add veth1
+$EMU2 ip link set bat0 up
+
+batctl if add veth2
+ip link set bat0 up
+
+alfred and batadv-vis can also be used with name spaces. In this
+example, only netns has been used, so there are no filesystem name
+spaces. Hence the unix domain socket used by alfred needs to be given
+a unique name per instance.
