With the rise of cloud native, more and more container applications are
deployed. The network namespace is one of the foundations of the container.
The sysctls of error_cost and error_burst are important knobs to control
the sending frequency of ICMP_DEST_UNREACH packet for ipv4. When different
containers has requirements on the tuning of error_cost and error_burst,
for host's security, the sysctls should exist per network namespace.

Different netns has different requirements on the setting of error_cost
and error_burst, which are related with limiting the frequency of sending
ICMP_DEST_UNREACH packets. Enable them to be configured per netns.

*** BLURB HERE ***

xu xin (3):
  ipv4: Namespaceify route/error_cost knob
  ipv4: Namespaceify route/error_burst knob
  ipv4: add documentation of two sysctls about icmp

I'm not familiar with the IPv6 implementation either, but someone needs
to explain to me why the knob is important in v4 while entirely absent
in v6. On the surface this makes no sense. There may be a good reason,
it just needs to be stated.
