Extend the devcom framework to support namespace-aware components. The existing devcom matching logic was based solely on numeric keys, limiting its use to the global (init_net) scope or requiring clients to ignore namespaces altogether, both of which are incorrect in multi-namespace environments. This patch introduces namespace support by allowing devcom clients to provide a namespace match attribute. The devcom pairing mechanism is updated to compare the namespace, enabling proper isolation and interaction of components across different net namespaces. With this change, components that require namespace aware pairing, such as SD groups or LAG, can now work correctly in multi-namespace scenarios. In particular, this opens the way to support hardware LAG within a net namespace.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
