netns: use stable inode number for initial mount ns
Apart from the network and mount namespace all other namespaces expose a
stable inode number and userspace has been relying on that for a very
long time now. It's very much heavily used API. Align the network
namespace and use a stable inode number from the reserved procfs inode
number space so this is consistent across all namespaces.
