Make

	net.core.xfrm_acq_expires
	net.core.xfrm_aevent_rseqth
	net.core.xfrm_larval_drop

sysctls per-netns.

For that make net_core_path[] global, register it to prevent two
/proc/net/core antries and change initcall position -- xfrm_init() is called
from fs_initcall, so this one should be fs_initcall at least.

I want to compile out proc_* and sysctl_* handlers totally and
stub them to NULL depending on config options, however usage of &amp;
will prevent this, since taking adress of NULL pointer will break
compilation.

So, drop &amp; in front of every -&gt;proc_handler and every -&gt;strategy
handler, it was never needed in fact.

All ratelimit user use same jiffies and burst params, so some messages
(callbacks) will be lost.

For example:
a call printk_ratelimit(5 * HZ, 1)
b call printk_ratelimit(5 * HZ, 1) before the 5*HZ timeout of a, then b will
will be supressed.

- rewrite __ratelimit, and use a ratelimit_state as parameter.  Thanks for
  hints from andrew.

- Add WARN_ON_RATELIMIT, update rcupreempt.h

- remove __printk_ratelimit

- use __ratelimit in net_ratelimit

Most of the net/core/xxx sysctls are read-only now, but this
goal is achieved with excessive memory consumption in each
namespace - the whole table is cloned and most of the entries
in it are ~= 0222.

Split it into two parts and register (the largest) one at the
read-only root.

There's already some stuff on the struct net, that should better
be folded into netns_core structure. I'm making the per-proto inuse 
counter be per-net also, which is also a candidate for this, so 
introduce this structure and populate it a bit.

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 :)
