Subject: [PATCH 1/3] lib/kobject_uevent.c: disable broadcast of uevents to other namespaces

Restrict sending uevents to only those listeners operating in the same
network namespace as the system init process.  This is the first step
toward allowing policy control of the forwarding of events to other
namespaces in userspace.
