Since the below commit, there is no way to see if the netns_local property is set on a device. Let's add a netlink attribute to advertise it.

CC: stable@vger.kernel.org Fixes: 05c1280a2bcf ("netdev_features: convert NETIF_F_NETNS_LOCAL to dev->netns_local")

So you would like this backported. The patch Subject is then wrong and indicate it is for net. Please see:

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/maintainer-netdev.html

The second patch does not have a fixes tag, and i would say is just ongoing development, not a fix. So please submit that one to net-next.

The code changes themselves look O.K. to me.
