Bug Description

[SRU Justification]

[Impact]

The netlink flag NLM_F_ECHO has no effect with the rtnetlink command RTM_NEWNSID. This has been fixed in v5.4 by the upstream commit 993e4c929a07 ("netns: fix NLM_F_ECHO mechanism for RTM_NEWNSID"). The bug is here since v4.0.

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=993e4c929a07

== Fix ==

Backport the requested patches to Disco (5.0), Bionic (4.15) and
Xenial (4.4).

== Risk of Regregression ==

This patch is quite trivial and limited to the code that manage RTM_[NEW|GET]NSID commands. Risk should be low.
