Merge branch 'vsock-add-namespace-support-to-vhost-vsock-and-loopback'

Bobby Eshleman says:

====================
vsock: add namespace support to vhost-vsock and loopback

This series adds namespace support to vhost-vsock and loopback. It does
not add namespaces to any of the other guest transports (virtio-vsock,
hyperv, or vmci).

The current revision supports two modes: local and global. Local
mode is complete isolation of namespaces, while global mode is complete
sharing between namespaces of CIDs (the original behavior).

The mode is set using the parent namespace's
/proc/sys/net/vsock/child_ns_mode and inherited when a new namespace is
created. The mode of the current namespace can be queried by reading
/proc/sys/net/vsock/ns_mode. The mode can not change after the namespace
has been created.

Modes are per-netns. This allows a system to configure namespaces
independently (some may share CIDs, others are completely isolated).
This also supports future possible mixed use cases, where there may be
namespaces in global mode spinning up VMs while there are mixed mode
namespaces that provide services to the VMs, but are not allowed to
allocate from the global CID pool (this mode is not implemented in this
series).

Additionally, added tests for the new namespace features:
