Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: ipv4: add capability check for net administration

From: Yang Yang <yang.yang29@....com.cn>

Root in init user namespace can modify /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
without CAP_NET_ADMIN, this doesn't follow the principle of
capabilities. For example, let's take a look at netdev_store(),
root can't modify netdev attribute without CAP_NET_ADMIN.
So let's keep the consistency of permission check logic.
