====================
netns: uevent filtering

This is the new approach to uevent filtering as discussed (see the
threads in [1], [2], and [3]). It only contains *non-functional
changes*.

This series deals with with fixing up uevent filtering logic:
- uevent filtering logic is simplified
- locking time on uevent_sock_list is minimized
- tagged and untagged kobjects are handled in separate codepaths
- permissions for userspace are fixed for network device uevents in
  network namespaces owned by non-initial user namespaces
  Udev is now able to see those events correctly which it wasn't before.
  For example, moving a physical device into a network namespace not
  owned by the initial user namespaces before gave:

  root@xen1:~# udevadm --debug monitor -k
  calling: monitor
  monitor will print the received events for:
  KERNEL - the kernel uevent

  sender uid=65534, message ignored
  sender uid=65534, message ignored
  sender uid=65534, message ignored
  sender uid=65534, message ignored
  sender uid=65534, message ignored

  and now after the discussion and solution in [3] correctly gives:

  root@xen1:~# udevadm --debug monitor -k
  calling: monitor
  monitor will print the received events for:
  KERNEL - the kernel uevent

  KERNEL[625.301042] add      /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/0000:01:00.1/net/enp1s0f1 (net)
  KERNEL[625.301109] move     /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/0000:01:00.1/net/enp1s0f1 (net)
  KERNEL[625.301138] move     /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/0000:01:00.1/net/eth1 (net)
  KERNEL[655.333272] remove /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/0000:01:00.1/net/eth1 (net)

Thanks!
