Subject: [PATCH] cgroup: move CONFIG_SOCK_CGROUP_DATA to init/Kconfig

We now 'select SOCK_CGROUP_DATA' but Kconfig complains that this is
not right when CONFIG_NET is disabled and there is no socket interface:

warning: (CGROUP_BPF) selects SOCK_CGROUP_DATA which has unmet direct dependencies (NET)

I don't know what the correct solution for this is, but simply removing
the dependency on NET from SOCK_CGROUP_DATA by moving it out of the
'if NET' section avoids the warning and does not produce other build
errors.

Fixes: 483c4933ea09 ("cgroup: Fix CGROUP_BPF config")

There was an earlier patch by Augusto Mecking Caringi, which added
a dependency, see https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/1/2/296.

I could not figure out whether CGROUP_BPF is meaningful without
CONFIG_NET, my version of the patch assumes that it is.
Applying either my version Augusto's to v4.10-rc will kill the
warning.
