[PATCH] iproute2: build nsid-name cache only for commands that need it

[Anton Aksola]

The calling of netns_map_init() before command parsing introduced
a performance issue with large number of namespaces.

As commands such as add, del and exec do not need to iterate through
/var/run/netns it would be good not no build the cache before executing
these commands.

Example:
unpatched:
time seq 1 1000 | xargs -n 1 ip netns add

real    0m16.832s
user    0m1.350s
sys    0m15.029s

patched:
time seq 1 1000 | xargs -n 1 ip netns add

real    0m3.859s
user    0m0.132s
sys    0m3.205s
