Michal Kubeček 2851940ffe netfilter: allow logging from non-init namespaces
Commit 69b34fb996 ("netfilter: xt_LOG: add net namespace support for
xt_LOG") disabled logging packets using the LOG target from non-init
namespaces. The motivation was to prevent containers from flooding
kernel log of the host. The plan was to keep it that way until syslog
namespace implementation allows containers to log in a safe way.

However, the work on syslog namespace seems to have hit a dead end
somewhere in 2013 and there are users who want to use xt_LOG in all
network namespaces. This patch allows to do so by setting

  /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_log_all_netns

to a nonzero value. This sysctl is only accessible from init_net so that
one cannot switch the behaviour from inside a container.

nf_log_all_netns - BOOLEAN
0 - disabled (default)
not 0 - enabled
By default, only init_net namespace can log packets into kernel log
with LOG target; this aims to prevent containers from flooding host
kernel log. If enabled, this target also works in other network
namespaces. This variable is only accessible from init_net.
