Currently there exists two interface types with ARPHRD_IEEE802154. These
are the 802.15.4 interfaces and 802.15.4 6LoWPAN interfaces. This is
more a bug because some userspace applications checks on this value like
wireshark. This occurs that wireshark will always try to parse a lowpan
interface as 802.15.4 frames. With ARPHRD_6LOWPAN wireshark will parse
it as IPv6 frames which is correct.
Much applications checks on this value to readout the EUI64 mac address
which should be the same for ARPHRD_6LOWPAN. BTLE 6LoWPAN and ieee802154
6LoWPAN will share now the same ARPHRD.

6LoWPAN currently doesn't supports x-netns and works only in init_net.
With this patch, we ensure that:
- the wpan interface cannot be moved to another netns;
- the 6lowpan interface cannot be moved to another netns;
- the wpan interface is in the same netns than the 6lowpan interface;
- the 6lowpan interface is in init_net.

This patch renames the 6lowpan_rtnl.c file to core.c. 6lowpan_rtnl.c
contains functionality to put all 802.15.4 6LoWPAN functionality
together.
