Just move the variable on the struct net and adjust
its usage.

Others sysctls from sys.net.core table are more
difficult to virtualize (i.e. make them per-namespace),
but I'll look at them as well a bit later.

Some of ctl variables are going to be on the struct
net. Here's the way to adjust the -&gt;data pointer on the
ctl_table-s to point on the right variable.

Since some pointers still point on the global variables,
I keep turning the write bits off on such tables.

This looks to become a common procedure for net sysctls,
so later parts of this code may migrate to some more
generic place.

Making them per-namespace is required for the following
two reasons:

 First, some ctl values have a per-namespace meaning.
 Second, making them writable from the sub-namespace
 is an isolation hole.

So I introduce the pernet operations to create these
tables. For init_net I use the existing statically
declared tables, for sub-namespace they are duplicated
and the write bits are removed from the mode.

Using ctl paths we can put all the stuff, related to net/core/
sysctl table, into one file and remove all the references on it.

As a good side effect this hides the "core_table" name from
the global scope :)

This file is already compiled out when the SYSCTL=n, so
these ifdefs, that enclose the whole file, can be removed.

Some are already declared in include/linux/netdevice.h, while
some others (xfrm ones) need to be declared.

The driver/net/rrunner.c just uses same extern as well, so
cleanup it also.

<title>[XFRM]: Allow packet drops during larval state resolution.</title>

The current IPSEC rule resolution behavior we have does not work for a
lot of people, even though technically it's an improvement from the
-EAGAIN buisness we had before.

Right now we'll block until the key manager resolves the route.  That
works for simple cases, but many folks would rather packets get
silently dropped until the key manager resolves the IPSEC rules.

We can't tell these folks to "set the socket non-blocking" because
they don't have control over the non-block setting of things like the
sockets used to resolve DNS deep inside of the resolver libraries in
libc.

With that in mind I coded up the patch below with some help from
Herbert Xu which provides packet-drop behavior during larval state
resolution, controllable via sysctl and off by default.

This lays the framework to either:

1) Make this default at some point or...

2) Move this logic into xfrm{4,6}_policy.c and implement the
   ARP-like resolution queue we've all been dreaming of.
   The idea would be to queue packets to the policy, then
   once the larval state is resolved by the key manager we
   re-resolve the route and push the packets out.  The
   packets would timeout if the rule didn't get resolved
   in a certain amount of time.
