[REVIEW][PATCH 0/21] User namespace changes to the networking stack.

This is a modest set of changes against the current networking stack to
enable basic user namespace support.  Allowing the code to compile with
user namespaces enabled and removing the assumption that there is only
the initial user namespace.

Work to relax the privilege checks in the networking stack from
"capable(CAP_NET_ADMIN)" or "capable(CAP_NET_RAW)" to
"ns_capable(net->user_ns, CAP_NET_ADMIN)" or 
"ns_capable(net->user_ns, CAP_NET_RAW)" allowing root in a user
namespace to control a network namespace will come later.

David there are just enough interdependencies between the user namespace
bits that I intend to merge them all through my user namespace tree.
After the review is complete I will add these patches to my for-next
branch of my user-namespace.git tree where I do not intend to rebase.
If it make sense to pull these into net-next to avoid or reduce
conflicts that should not be a problem.

A current snapshot of my development tree for people who are interested
in seeing the entire picture is at:
