Similar to the previous commit, the Netlink interface of the OVS
conntrack module was restricted to global CAP_NET_ADMIN by using
GENL_ADMIN_PERM. This is changed to GENL_UNS_ADMIN_PERM to support
unprivileged containers in non-initial user namespace.

Should we bump 

  ct_limit = kmalloc(sizeof(*ct_limit), GFP_KERNEL);

to also being accounted?

Otherwise LGTM, please repost with [PATCH net-next v3] in the subject.
net is for fixes only, and we're quite late in the -rc process.

Please try to CC the original authors as well, for Joe the address
will be Joe Stringer <joe@cilium.io>.
