    lxc: remove no longer working netns check

    Since iproute2 v6.12.0, the command "ip link set lo netns -1" can
    no longer be used to check for netns support, as it now validates
    PIDs are not less than zero.

    Since every kernel we care about has the support, just remove the
    check.

It will be included in the upcoming upstream release, scheduled for
January 15. The Debian update will happen shortly after that.
