    sysctl: Infrastructure for per namespace sysctls · e51b6ba0

    This patch implements the basic infrastructure for per namespace sysctls.
    
    A list of lists of sysctl headers is added, allowing each namespace to have
    it's own list of sysctl headers.
    
    Each list of sysctl headers has a lookup function to find the first
    sysctl header in the list, allowing the lists to have a per namespace
    instance.
    
    register_sysct_root is added to tell sysctl.c about additional
    lists of sysctl_headers.  As all of the users are expected to be in
    kernel no unregister function is provided.
    
    sysctl_head_next is updated to walk through the list of lists.
    
    __register_sysctl_paths is added to add a new sysctl table on
    a non-default sysctl list.
    
    The only intrusive part of this patch is propagating the information
    to decided which list of sysctls to use for sysctl_check_table.
