v2: reword commit message
ip netns keeps track of created namespaces with bind mounts named
/var/run/netns/<namespace>. No input sanitization is done, allowing creation and
deletion of files relatives to /var/run/netns or, if the path is non existent or
invalid, allows to create "untracked" namespaces (invisible to the tool).
This commit denies creation or deletion of namespaces with names contaning
"/" or matching exactly "." or "..".
