tipc: make netlink support net namespace

Currently tipc module only allows users sitting on "init_net" namespace
to configure it through netlink interface. But now almost each tipc
component is able to be aware of net namespace, so it's time to open
the permission for users residing in other namespaces, allowing them
to configure their own tipc stack instance through netlink interface.

tipc: add bearer disable/enable to new netlink api

A new netlink API for tipc that can disable or enable a tipc bearer.

The new API is separated from the old API because of a bug in the
user space client (tipc-config). The problem is that older versions
of tipc-config has a very low receive limit and adding commands to
the legacy genl_opts struct causes the ctrl_getfamily() response
message to grow, subsequently breaking the tool.

The new API utilizes netlink policies for input validation. Where the
top-level netlink attributes are tipc-logical entities, like bearer.
The top level entities then contain nested attributes. In this case
a name, nested link properties and a domain.

Netlink commands implemented in this patch:
TIPC_NL_BEARER_ENABLE
TIPC_NL_BEARER_DISABLE

net: Use netlink_ns_capable to verify the permisions of netlink messages

It is possible by passing a netlink socket to a more privileged
executable and then to fool that executable into writing to the socket
data that happens to be valid netlink message to do something that
privileged executable did not intend to do.

To keep this from happening replace bare capable and ns_capable calls
with netlink_capable, netlink_net_calls and netlink_ns_capable calls.
Which act the same as the previous calls except they verify that the
opener of the socket had the desired permissions as well.

tipc: remove all enabled flags from all tipc components

When tipc module is inserted, many tipc components are initialized
one by one. During the initialization period, if one of them is
failed, tipc_core_stop() will be called to stop all components
whatever corresponding components are created or not. To avoid to
release uncreated ones, relevant components have to add necessary
enabled flags indicating whether they are created or not.

But in the initialization stage, if one component is unsuccessfully
created, we will just destroy successfully created components before
the failed component instead of all components. All enabled flags
defined in components, in turn, become redundant. Additionally it's
also unnecessary to identify whether table.types is NULL in
tipc_nametbl_stop() because name stable has been definitely created
successfully when tipc_nametbl_stop() is called.

The openvswitch has some indirection, assing ops/n_ops directly in
that code. This might ultimately just assign the pointers in the
family initializations, saving the struct genl_family_and_ops and
code (once mcast groups are handled differently.)

genetlink: make netns aware

This makes generic netlink network namespace aware. No
generic netlink families except for the controller family
are made namespace aware, they need to be checked one by
one and then set the family->netnsok member to true.

A new function genlmsg_multicast_netns() is introduced to
allow sending a multicast message in a given namespace,
for example when it applies to an object that lives in
that namespace, a new function genlmsg_multicast_allns()
to send a message to all network namespaces (for objects
that do not have an associated netns).

The function genlmsg_multicast() is changed to multicast
the message in just init_net, which is currently correct
for all generic netlink families since they only work in
init_net right now. Some will later want to work in all
net namespaces because they do not care about the netns
at all -- those will have to be converted to use one of
the new functions genlmsg_multicast_allns() or
genlmsg_multicast_netns() whenever they are made netns
aware in some way.

After this patch families can easily decide whether or
not they should be available in all net namespaces. Many
genl families us it for objects not related to networking
and should therefore be available in all namespaces, but
that will have to be done on a per family basis.

Note that this doesn't touch on the checkpoint/restart
problem where network namespaces could be used, genl
families and multicast groups are numbered globally and
I see no easy way of changing that, especially since it
must be possible to multicast to all network namespaces
for those families that do not care about netns.
