Subject: [PATCH linux-next] kernel: Make taskstats available via genetlink per namespace

From: xu xin <xu.xin16@....com.cn>

Currently, the application getdelays cannot get taskstats in a net
namespace. The returned error is just like the following:
-sh-4.4# ps -ef | tail -5
root       186     2  0 09:23 ?        00:00:00 [kworker/2:1H]
root       187     2  0 09:23 ?        00:00:00 [kworker/0:2-eve]
root       190   183  0 09:23 ?        00:00:00 -sh
root       198   190  0 09:25 ?        00:00:00 ps -ef
root       199   190  0 09:25 ?        00:00:00 tail -5
-sh-4.4#
-sh-4.4# ./getdelays -d -p 186 -v
print delayacct stats ON
debug on
Error getting family id, errno 0

As more and more applications are deployed in containers like Docker,
it is necessary to supoort getdelays to be used in net namespace.
Taskstats is safe for use per namespace as genetlink checks the
capability of namespace message by netlink_ns_capable().

Make taskstats available via genetlink per namespace.
