Add netns logic to vsock core. Additionally, modify transport hook
prototypes to be used by later transport-specific patches (e.g.,
*_seqpacket_allow()).

Namespaces are supported primarily by changing socket lookup functions
(e.g., vsock_find_connected_socket()) to take into account the socket
namespace and the namespace mode before considering a candidate socket a
"match".

This patch also introduces the sysctl /proc/sys/net/vsock/ns_mode to
report the mode and /proc/sys/net/vsock/child_ns_mode to set the mode
for new namespaces.

Add netns functionality (initialization, passing to transports, procfs,
etc...) to the af_vsock socket layer. Later patches that add netns
support to transports depend on this patch.

dgram_allow(), stream_allow(), and seqpacket_allow() callbacks are
modified to take a vsk in order to perform logic on namespace modes. In
future patches, the net will also be used for socket
lookups in these functions.

Changes in v14:
- include linux/sysctl.h in af_vsock.c
- squash patch 'vsock: add per-net vsock NS mode state' into this patch
  (prior version can be found here):
  https://lore.kernel.org/all/20251223-vsock-vmtest-v13-1-9d6db8e7c80b@meta.com/ (local))

So, about the static port, are you going to address it in
the next version then?

Yes, just wanted to get the rebase out to unblock review of the
child_ns_mode changes.

I should have mentioned the static port was a known issue and still
under discussion.
