mptcp: allow privileged operations from user namespaces
GENL_ADMIN_PERM checks that the user has CAP_NET_ADMIN in the initial namespace by calling netlink_capable(). Instead, use GENL_UNS_ADMIN_PERM which uses netlink_ns_capable(). This checks that the caller has CAP_NET_ADMIN in the current user namespace. See also commit 4a92602a ("openvswitch: allow management from inside user namespaces") which introduced this mechanism. See also commit 5617c6cd ("nl80211: Allow privileged operations from user namespaces") which introduced this for nl80211.
