Kirill Tkhai f2780d6d74 tun: Add ioctl() SIOCGSKNS cmd to allow obtaining net ns of tun device
This patch adds possibility to get tun device's net namespace fd
in the same way we allow to do that for sockets.

Socket ioctl numbers do not intersect with tun-specific, and there
is already SIOCSIFHWADDR used in tun code. So, SIOCGSKNS number
is choosen instead of custom-made for this functionality.

Note, that open_related_ns() uses plain get_net_ns() and it's safe
(net can't be already dead at this moment):

  tun socket is allocated via sk_alloc() with zero last arg (kern = 0).
  So, each alive socket increments net::count, and the socket is definitely
  alive during ioctl syscall.

Also, common variable net is introduced, so small cleanup in TUNSETIFF
is made.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
