Subject: [NETNS]: Don't panic on creating the namespace's loopback

[NETNS]: Don't panic on creating the namespace's loopback

When the loopback device is failed to initialize inside the new
namespaces, panic() is called. Do not do it when the namespace
in question is not the init_net.

Plus cleanup the error path a bit.
