Subject: [PATCH net-2.6.25 4/7] Store the net pointer on devinet's ctl tables

Some handers and strategies of devinet sysctl tables need
to know the net to propagate the ctl change to all the
net devices.

I use the (currently unused) extra2 pointer on the tables
to get it.

Holding the reference on the struct net is not possible,
because otherwise we'll get a net->ctl_table->net circular
dependency. But since the ctl tables are unregistered during 
the net destruction, this is safe to get it w/o additional 
protection.
