Subject: [PATCH] net: Fix ns_capable check in sock_diag_put_filterinfo

The caller needs capabilities on the namespace being queried, not on
their own namespace.  This is a security bug, although it likely has
only a minor impact.

Someone should check that I'm right.  I had trouble getting 'ss -b' to
work, even with plain old sudo.
