commit d23ff701643a4a725e2c7a8ba2d567d39daa29ea introduced netlink support for
the new tcp_metrics, however it restricted getting of tcp_metrics to root user
only. This is a change from how these values could have been fetched when in
the old route cache. Unless there's a legitimate reason to restrict the reading
of these values it would be better if normal users could fetch them.

	Not sure how fatal is to show TCP fastopen cookies to
any user. Otherwise, I don't remember for other restrictions.
