In pasta_wait_for_ns(), open() failing with ENOENT is expected: we're busy-looping until the network namespace appears. But any other failure is not something we're going to recover from: return right away if we don't get either success or ENOENT. Now that pasta_wait_for_ns() can actually fail, handle that in pasta_start_ns() by reporting the issue and exiting. Looping on EPERM, when pasta doesn't actually have the permissions to join a given namespace, isn't exactly a productive thing to do.
