netns: foreach_netdev_safe is insufficient in default_device_exit

Browse source 
During network namespace teardown we either move or delete
all of the network devices associated with a network namespace.
In the case of veth devices deleting one will also delete it's
pair device.  If both devices are in the same network namespace
then for_each_netdev_safe is insufficient as next may point
to the second veth device we have deleted.

To avoid problems I do what we do in __rtnl_kill_links and
restart the scan of the device list, after we have deleted
a device.

Currently dev_change_netnamespace does not appear to suffer from
this problem, but wireless devices are also paired and likely
should be moved between network namespaces together.  So I have
errored on the side of caution and restart the scan of the network
devices in that case as well.
