net: set default network namespace in init_dummy_netdev()

Browse source 
[ Upstream commit 35edfdc77f ]

Assign a default net namespace to netdevs created by init_dummy_netdev().
Fixes a NULL pointer dereference caused by busy-polling a socket bound to
an iwlwifi wireless device, which bumps the per-net BUSYPOLLRXPACKETS stat
if napi_poll() received packets:

  BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000190
  IP: napi_busy_loop+0xd6/0x200
  Call Trace:
    sock_poll+0x5e/0x80
    do_sys_poll+0x324/0x5a0
    SyS_poll+0x6c/0xf0
    do_syscall_64+0x6b/0x1f0
    entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x3d/0xa2

Fixes: 7db6b048da ("net: Commonize busy polling code to focus on napi_id instead of socket")
