ipbatch: fix use of 'ip netns exec'

execvp() does not return when the command succeed, hence all commands in the
batch file after the line 'ip netns exec' are not executed.

Let's fork before calling execvp() if batch mode is used..

Example:
$ cat test.batch
netns add netns1
netns exec netns1 ip l
netns
$ ip -b test.batch
1: lo: <LOOPBACK> mtu 65536 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: sit0: <NOARP> mtu 1480 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT
    link/sit 0.0.0.0 brd 0.0.0.0

All command after 'netns exec' are never executed.

With the patch:
$ ip -b test.batch
1: lo: <LOOPBACK> mtu 65536 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: sit0: <NOARP> mtu 1480 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT
    link/sit 0.0.0.0 brd 0.0.0.0
netns1

Now, existing netns are displayed.
