Subject: [PATCH] net: add sysctl allow_so_priority for SO_PRIORITY setsockopt

From: Maciej Żenczykowski <maze@...gle.com>

This change adds a sysctl (/proc/sys/net/core/allow_so_priority)
with a default of true (1), as such it does not change the default
behaviour of the Linux kernel.

This sysctl can be set to false (0), this will result in non
CAP_NET_ADMIN processes being unable to set SO_PRIORITY socket
option.

This is desireable if we want to rely on socket/skb priorities
being inferred from TOS/TCLASS bits.
