[PATCH 3.10 08/52] net: Add variants of capable for use on netlink messages

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

3.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>

[ Upstream commit aa4cf9452f469f16cea8c96283b641b4576d4a7b ]

netlink_net_capable - The common case use, for operations that are safe on a network namespace
netlink_capable - For operations that are only known to be safe for the global root
netlink_ns_capable - The general case of capable used to handle special cases

__netlink_ns_capable - Same as netlink_ns_capable except taking a netlink_skb_parms instead of
		       the skbuff of a netlink message.
