RFC: bring UP 'lo' by default after creating new netns

[महेश बंडेवार]

Creation of new network namespace is almost always followed up by
bringing up the loopback device.

        ip netns add foo
        ip -netns foo link set lo up

I'm not sure if there are any consequences of bringing the device UP
at the creation of network-namespace.

thanks,
