Now, neigh_table is ready to be namespacified.
Let's allocate per-netns neigh_table in neigh_table_register()
and call neigh_table_init() and neigh_sysctl_register() for it.
proc_create_seq_data() is changed to proc_create_net_data().
Since each netns has its own sysctl knobs, RTM_SETNEIGHTBL can
configure the default table param (ifindex==0) and GC parameters
per netns.
To avoid potential regression, all the default parameters under
/proc/sys/net/ipv{4,6}/neigh/default/, are inherited from init_net
by default.
This behaviour is controlled by a new sysctl knob,
net.core.neigh_inherit_init_net:
# sysctl net.core.neigh_inherit_init_net
net.core.neigh_inherit_init_net = 1
# sysctl net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh1
net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh1 = 128
# sysctl net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh1=129
net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh1 = 129
# unshare -n sysctl net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh1
net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh1 = 129
If it is turned off, all settings are reset in the new netns:
# sysctl net.core.neigh_inherit_init_net=0
net.core.neigh_inherit_init_net = 0
# unshare -n sysctl net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh1
net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh1 = 128
The next patch will remove other unnecessary net_eq().
Note that CONFIG_SYSCTL cannot be enabled without CONFIG_PROC_FS.

v4:
* Add sysctl knob, net.core.neigh_inherit_init_net
* Inherit all neigh parms by default
* Move RTM_SETNEIGHTBL changes from patch 14
v3:
* Remove timer_shutdown_sync() in neigh_flush_one() and
rely on tbl->entries to free it in neigh_table_free().
v2:
* panic() when register_pernet_subsys(&arp_net_ops) fails
* Add timer_shutdown_sync() in neigh_flush_one()
