The current codes use _IOC_TYPE(cmd) == 0x89 to check if the cmd is one
socket ioctl command like SIOCGIFHWADDR. But the literal number 0x89 may
confuse readers. So create one macro SOCK_IOC_TYPE to enhance the readability.

Each socket operates in a network namespace where it has been created,
so if we want to dump and restore a socket, we have to know its network
namespace.
We have a socket_diag to get information about sockets, it doesn't
report sockets which are not bound or connected.
This patch introduces a new socket ioctl, which is called SIOCGSKNS
and used to get a file descriptor for a socket network namespace.
A task must have CAP_NET_ADMIN in a target network namespace to
use this ioctl.

IOCTL SIOCRTMSG does nothing but return EINVAL.
So comment it as unused.
SIOCRTMSG is only used in:
* net/ipv4/af_inet.c
* include/uapi/linux/sockios.h
inet_ioctl calls ip_rt_ioctl.
ip_rt_ioctl only handles SIOCADDRT and SIOCDELRT and returns -EINVAL
otherwise.

SIOCSHWTSTAMP returns the real configuration to the application
using it, but there is currently no way for any other
application to find out the configuration non-destructively.
Add a new ioctl for this, making it unprivileged.
