Extend the permission check for networking sysctl's to allow modification
when current process has CAP_NET_ADMIN capability and is not root. This
version uses the until now unused permissions hook to override the mode
value for /proc/sys/net if accessed by a user with capabilities.
Found while working with Quagga. It is impossible to turn forwarding
on/off through the command interface because Quagga uses secure coding
practice of dropping privledges during initialization and only raising via
capabilities when necessary. Since the dameon has reset real/effective
uid after initialization, all attempts to access /proc/sys/net variables
will fail.

This one stores all ctl-heads in one list and restricts the
permissions not give write access to non-init net namespaces.

I have removed all the entries from this table (core_table,
ipv4_table and tr_table), so now we can safely drop it.

The same thing for token-ring - use ctl paths and get
rid of external references on the tr_table.
Unfortunately, I couldn't split this patch into cleanup and
use-the-paths parts.
As a lame excuse I can say, that the cleanup is just moving
the tr_table from one file to another - closet to a single
variable, that this ctl table tunes. Since the source file
becomes empty after the move, I remove it.

This is the same as I did for the net/core/ table in the
second patch in his series: use the paths and isolate the
whole table in the .c file.

Using ctl paths we can put all the stuff, related to net/core/
sysctl table, into one file and remove all the references on it.
As a good side effect this hides the "core_table" name from
the global scope :)

The user interface is: register_net_sysctl_table and
unregister_net_sysctl_table. Very much like the current
interface except there is a network namespace parameter.
With this any sysctl registered with register_net_sysctl_table
will only show up to tasks in the same network namespace.
All other sysctls continue to be globally visible.

During the build for ARM machine type "fortunet", this error occurred:
CC net/sysctl_net.o
net/sysctl_net.c:36: error: 'core_table' undeclared here (not in a function)
It appears that the following configuration settings cause this error
due to a missing include:
CONFIG_SYSCTL=y
CONFIG_NET=y
# CONFIG_INET is not set
core_table appears to be declared in net/sock.h. if CONFIG_INET were
defined, net/sock.h would have been included via:
sysctl_net.c -> net/ip.h -> linux/ip.h -> net/sock.h
so include it directly.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
