dev->name is not unique across network namespaces, so we should specify
a netns-specific parent dir here.

For example, syzkaller creates a bunch of devices with the same name in
different network namespaces.

Then, we also need to move the file when dev is moved to another netns
in __dev_change_net_namespace().
