[PATCH 5/6] hotplug: netns aware uevent_helper

["Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>]

From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>

It only makes sense for uevent_helper to get events
in the intial namespaces.  It's invocation is not
per namespace and it is not clear how we could make
it's invocation namespace aware.
