Subject: [PATCH linux 0/3] [PATCH] userns: add sysctl "kernel.userns_group_range"

This sysctl limits groups who can create a new userns without
CAP_SYS_ADMIN in the current userns, so as to mitigate potential kernel
vulnerabilities around userns.

The sysctl value format is same as "net.ipv4.ping_group_range".

To disable creating new unprivileged userns, set the sysctl value to "1
0" in the initial userns.

To allow everyone to create new userns, set the sysctl value to "0
4294967294". This is the default value.

This sysctl replaces "kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone" that is found in
Ubuntu [1] and Debian GNU/Linux.
