[Devel] [PATCH VZ8] venetdev: check ve_ns is not null before dereferencing

When testing criu on vz8 I got crash in venet_newlink on dereferencing
zero ve_ns:

  BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000028
  PGD 8000000136ceb067 P4D 8000000136ceb067 PUD 137624067 PMD 0
  Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI
  CPU: 0 PID: 6853 Comm: criu ve: ad7d77df-8614-42b4-8bf4-c9313fcb2a17
  Kdump: loaded Not tainted 4.18.0-193.6.3.vz8.4.18 #1 4.18
  Hardware name: Virtuozzo KVM, BIOS 1.11.0-2.vz7.2 04/01/2014
  RIP: 0010:venet_newlink+0x18/0xc0 [vznetdev]

Small reproducer:

  # term 1
  echo $$
  # 407283

  # term 2
  mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/ve/my_new_ve
  echo 666 > /sys/fs/cgroup/ve/my_new_ve/ve.veid
  echo 407283 > /sys/fs/cgroup/ve/my_new_ve/tasks

  # term 1
  unshare -n
  ip link add venet0 type venet

If we create venet in network namespace which is owned by ve which is
not started yet - we crash.

Note on vz7 we are safe as there is no ve_ns.
