Subject: [PATCH net-next 06/17] net: Update the per network namespace sysctls to be available to the network namespace owner

From: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@...ssion.com>

- Allow anyone with CAP_NET_ADMIN rights in the user namespace of the
  the netowrk namespace to change sysctls.
- Allow anyone the uid of the user namespace root the same
  permissions over the network namespace sysctls as the global root.
- Allow anyone with gid of the user namespace root group the same
  permissions over the network namespace sysctl as the global root group.
