Let's make all IPVS sysctls writtable even when
network namespace is owned by non-initial user namespace.

Let's make a few sysctls to be read-only for non-privileged users:
- sync_qlen_max
- sync_sock_size
- run_estimation
- est_cpulist
- est_nice

I'm trying to be conservative with this to prevent
introducing any security issues in there. Maybe,
we can allow more sysctls to be writable, but let's
do this on-demand and when we see real use-case.

This patch is motivated by user request in the LXC
project [1]. Having this can help with running some
Kubernetes [2] or Docker Swarm [3] workloads inside the system
containers.
