Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/6][NETNS]: Register net/core/ sysctls at read-only
 root.

Most of the net/core/xxx sysctls are read-only now, but this
goal is achieved with excessive memory consumption in each
namespace - the whole table is cloned and most of the entries
in it are ~= 0222.

Split it into two parts and register (the largest) one at the
read-only root.
