Subject: [PATCH] net: make net namespace sysctls belong to container's owner

From: Dmitry Torokhov <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 2 Aug 2016 16:19:26 -0700

If net namespace is attached to a user namespace let's make container's
root owner of sysctls affecting said network namespace instead of global
root.

This also allows us to clean up net_ctl_permissions() because we do not
need to fudge permissions anymore for the container's owner since it now
owns the objects in question.

This helps when running Android CTS in a container, but I think it makes
sense regardless.
