Make net_ns_get_ownership() reusable by networking code outside of core.
This is useful, for example, to allow bridge related sysfs files to be
owned by container root.

Add a function comment since this is a potentially dangerous function to
use given the way that kobject_get_ownership() works by initializing uid
and gid before calling .get_ownership().

If they must be so initialized why not just enforce this directly in the
function? This way callers can rely on always getting back the correct
permissions and the comment can be removed as well.
I agree and made this change in v3 of the patch set that I just sent
out. Thanks for the suggestion!
