[PATCH mptcp-next v2 1/2] mptcp: allow priviledged operations from user namespaces

[Thomas Haller <thaller@redhat.com>]

GENL_ADMIN_PERM checks that the user has CAP_NET_ADMIN in the initial
namespace by calling netlink_capable(). Instead, use GENL_UNS_ADMIN_PERM
which uses netlink_ns_capable(). This checks that the caller has
CAP_NET_ADMIN in the current user namespace.

See also commit 4a92602aa1cd ('openvswitch: allow management from inside
user namespaces') which introduced this mechanism. See also commit
5617c6cd6f84 ('nl80211: Allow privileged operations from user
namespaces'), which introduced this for nl80211.
