net: set default network namespace in init_dummy_netdev()
[ Upstream commit 35edfdc77f683c8fd27d7732af06cf6489af60a5 ]
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:

Fixes: 7db6b048da3b ("net: Commonize busy polling code to focus on napi_id instead of socket")
