Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 0/2] bpf/flow_dissector: add mode to enforce global
 BPF flow dissector

While having a per-net-ns flow dissector programs is convenient for
testing, security-wise it's better to have only one vetted global
flow dissector implementation.

Let's have a convention that when BPF flow dissector is installed
in the root namespace, child namespaces can't override it.

Note, that it's totally possible to attach flow_dissector programs
to several namespaces and then switch to a global one. In this case,
only the root one will trigger; users are still able to detach
flow_dissector programs from non-root namespaces.

Alternative solution might be something like a sysctl to enable
the global mode.
