(Resending with a proper signoff.)

This patch reduces namespace pollution by moving the "struct net" declaration
out of the userspace-facing portion of linux/netlink.h.  It has no impact on
the kernel, and the declaration is not referenced anywhere outside the
__KERNEL__ macro guard.

(This came up because we have several C++ applications which use "net" as a
namespace name.)

Your patch is still unusable because your email client white-space mangled
the patch, turning tabs into space characters.

Please fix this up and resubmit, thanks.
