Ok.

The only case where the ifname can change is when a netns is deleted and the
interface is put back in init_net. But at this stage, we don't know the new name.
For the nsid, you're right, it will be better to display the netns name. If you
agree, I will do this in a following patch, thus all places using nsid can be
converted at the same time.

Nicolas
