This patchset addresses a number of spelling errors in comments in
Networking files under include/, and files in net/core/. Spelling
problems are as flagged by codespell.

It aims to provide patches that can be accepted directly into net-
next.
And splits patches up based on maintainer boundaries: many things
feed directly into net-next. This is a complex process and I
apologise
for any errors.

Are you aware that this lessens git blame's ability to provide the
latest relevant change and associated commit message?

Considering how many code style changes the kernel receives, I already
(and not only me) moved away to just `git log --follow`, so I don't find
one more step for `git blame` a problem.

Many software projects suffer from whitespace and spelling fixes
preventing git blame from figuring out years later what original code
was intended to do.

I'd consider that improving spelling might not win that cost-benefit-
ratio.

I would rather claim that impact on backporting is more important, yet
still fixing style makes code more readable thus maintainable. And
that's a benefit.
