revert "net: align SO_RCVMARK required privileges with SO_MARK"

This reverts commit 1f86123b ("net: align SO_RCVMARK required
privileges with SO_MARK") because the reasoning in the commit message
is not really correct:
  SO_RCVMARK is used for 'reading' incoming skb mark (via cmsg), as such
  it is more equivalent to 'getsockopt(SO_MARK)' which has no priv check
  and retrieves the socket mark, rather than 'setsockopt(SO_MARK) which
  sets the socket mark and does require privs.

  Additionally incoming skb->mark may already be visible if
  sysctl_fwmark_reflect and/or sysctl_tcp_fwmark_accept are enabled.

  Furthermore, it is easier to block the getsockopt via bpf
  (either cgroup setsockopt hook, or via syscall filters)
  then to unblock it if it requires CAP_NET_RAW/ADMIN.

On Android the socket mark is (among other things) used to store
the network identifier a socket is bound to.  Setting it is privileged,
but retrieving it is not.  We'd like unprivileged userspace to be able
to read the network id of incoming packets (where mark is set via
iptables [to be moved to bpf])...

An alternative would be to add another sysctl to control whether
setting SO_RCVMARK is privilged or not.
(or even a MASK of which bits in the mark can be exposed)
But this seems like over-engineering...

Note: This is a non-trivial revert, due to later merged commit e42c7bee
("bpf: net: Consider has_current_bpf_ctx() when testing capable() in sk_setsockopt()")
which changed both 'ns_capable' into 'sockopt_ns_capable' calls.
