[PATCH net-2.6.25 4/7] Store the net pointer on devinet's ctl tables

[Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org>]

Some handers and strategies of devinet sysctl tables need
to know the net to propagate the ctl change to all the
net devices.

I use the (currently unused) extra2 pointer on the tables
to get it.

Holding the reference on the struct net is not possible,
because otherwise we'll get a net->ctl_table->net circular
dependency. But since the ctl tables are unregistered during 
the net destruction, this is safe to get it w/o additional 
protection.
