The recently added VRF support in Linux leverages the bind-to-device
API for programs to specify an L3 domain for a socket. While
SO_BINDTODEVICE has been around for ages, not every ipv4/ipv6 capable
program has support for it. Even for those programs that do support it,
the API requires processes to be started as root (CAP_NET_RAW) which
is not desirable from a general security perspective.

This patch set leverages Daniel Mack's work to attach bpf programs to
a cgroup to provide a capability to set sk_bound_dev_if for all
AF_INET{6} sockets opened by a process in a cgroup when the sockets
are allocated.

Series applied, thanks David.
