In patch #7, the netns id is put in the skb cb (NETLINK_CB) in the func=
tion
do_one_broadcast().
The function netlink_cmsg_listen_all_nsid() will send this information =
to the
userland via a cmsg data. This function is called by netlink_recvmsg().

The netns id is the same attribute that allows to identify a peer netns
via rtnetlink.
