[PATCH] netfilter: fix namespace handling in nf_log_proc_dostring

nf_log_proc_dostring() used current's network namespace instead of the one corresponding to the sysctl file the write was performed on. Because the permission check happens at open time and the nf_log files in namespaces are accessible for the namespace owner, this can be abused by an unprivileged

FWIW, I'm not sure if skb_splice_bits() can't land us in trouble; fragments might come from compound pages and I'm not entirely convinced that we won't end up with coalesced fragments putting more than PAGE_SIZE into a single pipe_buffer. And that could badly confuse a bunch of code. Can that
