(cherry picked from commit 9e8218f99a)
Arguably, we currently only have one instance of NMPlatform,
NMRouteManager, NMDefaultRouteManager -- the one owned by the
NMNetns singleton.
Hence, all these instances we create with "log-with-ptr" set explicitly
to false.
In the future we want to support namespaces, and it will be be common to
have multiple instances. For that we have "log-with-ptr" so we are able
to disambiguiate the logging.
Change the default to TRUE because it makes more sense. It has currently
no effect as the default is never used.
(cherry picked from commit 41148caba8)
Reduce the use of NM_PLATFORM_GET / nm_platform_get() to get
the platform singleton instance.
For one, this is a step towards supporting namespaces, where we need
to use different NMNetns/NMPlatform instances depending on in which
namespace the device lives.
Also, we should reduce our use of singletons. They are difficult to
coordinate on shutdown. Instead there should be a clear order of
dependencies, expressed by owning a reference to those singelton
instances. We already own a reference to the platform singelton,
so use it and avoid NM_PLATFORM_GET.
(cherry picked from commit 94d9ee129d)
This also ensures that we own a reference to the
NMPlatform, NMRouteManager and NMDefaultRouteManager
instances. See bug rh#1440089 where we might access
the singleton getter after destroing the singleton
instance of NMRouteManager. This is prevented by
keeping a reference to those instances -- indirectly
via the netns instance.
Later, we may add support for multiple namespaces. Then it might
make sense to swap the NMNetns instance of a device when moving
the device between namespaces.
Also, drop the use of singelton instances.

(cherry picked from commit c48a19b7c6)
NMPlatform, NMRouteManager and NMDefaultRouteManager are singletons
instances. Users of those are for example NMDevice, which registers
to GObject signals of both NMPlatform and NMRouteManager.
Hence, as NMDevice:dispose() disconnects the signal handlers, it must
ensure that those singleton instances live longer then the NMDevice
instance. That is usually accomplished by having users of singleton
instances own a reference to those instances.
For NMDevice that effectively means that it shall own a reference to
several singletons.
NMPlatform, NMRouteManager, and NMDefaultRouteManager are all
per-namespace. In general it doesn't make sense to have more then
one instances of these per name space. Nnote that currently we don't
support multiple namespaces yet. If we will ever support multiple
namespaces, then a NMDevice would have a reference to all of these
manager instances. Hence, introduce a new class NMNetns which bundles
them together.

Set the device state as removed when the link disappears, so that in
the call to unrealize() when the device is unmanaged we also perform a
cleanup of it and especially, we terminate any DHCP client instances
running on the device.
If we keep DHCP clients running, we can hit assertions later when we
start another instance on the same interface, because we kill the old
dhclient from the pidfile, and the g_child_watch_add() done by the
first client instance is not able to waitpid() it, complaining with:
GChildWatchSource: Exit status of a child process was requested but
ECHILD was received by waitpid(). Most likely the process is
ignoring SIGCHLD, or some other thread is invoking waitpid() with a
nonpositive first argument; either behavior can break applications
that use g_child_watch_add()/g_spawn_sync() either directly or
indirectly.

Should we initialize unions this way? I think it's all right -- the initializer
works well and { { { 0 } } } is probably not what we'd like to see.
