Today I've checked that it really works as I read from the source code.
I use this tool to read events:
https://gist.github.com/avagin/430ba431fc2972002df40ebe6a048b36

And I see that events from non-network devices are delivered to all sockets,
but events from network devices are delivered only to sockets from
a network namespace where a device is operated.

Thanks,
Andrei
