[NET]: Make the loopback device per network namespace.

Browse Source 
This patch makes loopback_dev per network namespace.  Adding
code to create a different loopback device for each network
namespace and adding the code to free a loopback device
when a network namespace exits.

This patch modifies all users the loopback_dev so they
access it as init_net.loopback_dev, keeping all of the
code compiling and working.  A later pass will be needed to
update the users to use something other than the initial network
namespace.
