Eric W. Biederman 0c5c9fb551 net: Introduce possible_net_t
Having to say
> #ifdef CONFIG_NET_NS
> 	struct net *net;
> #endif

in structures is a little bit wordy and a little bit error prone.

Instead it is possible to say:
> typedef struct {
> #ifdef CONFIG_NET_NS
>       struct net *net;
> #endif
> } possible_net_t;

And then in a header say:

> 	possible_net_t net;

Which is cleaner and easier to use and easier to test, as the
possible_net_t is always there no matter what the compile options.

Further this allows read_pnet and write_pnet to be functions in all
cases which is better at catching typos.

This change adds possible_net_t, updates the definitions of read_pnet
and write_pnet, updates optional struct net * variables that
write_pnet uses on to have the type possible_net_t, and finally fixes
up the b0rked users of read_pnet and write_pnet.
