[PATCH 2/6] User namespace: don't allow sysctl in non-init user ns (v2)

[Serge Hallyn <serge@hallyn.com>]

From: Serge Hallyn <serge.hallyn@canonical.com>

sysctl.c has its own custom uid check, which is not user namespace
aware.  As discovered by Richard, that allows root in a container
privileged access to set all sysctls.

To fix that, don't compare uid or groups if current is not in the
initial user namespace.  We may at some point want to relax that check
so that some sysctls are allowed - for instance dmesg_restrict when
syslog is containerized.

Changelog:
Sep 22: As Miquel van Smoorenburg pointed out, rather than always
	refusing access if not in initial user_ns, we should allow
	world access rights to sysctl files.  We just want to prevent
	a task in a non-init user namespace from getting the root user
	or group access rights.
