Don't return the error if unable to create the network namespace
On systems where kernel is not configured with namespace support
then don't return error during setting up network namespace.
Rationale to not enable the kernel with namespace support
as it brings lot of unnecessary code.
Resolves openbmc/openbmc#1949
