From: Bobby Eshleman <bobbyeshleman@meta.com>
Add the per-net vsock NS mode state. This only adds the structure for
holding the mode and some of the functions for setting/getting and
checking the mode, but does not integrate the functionality yet.
Signed-off-by: Bobby Eshleman <bobbyeshleman@meta.com>

Changes in v6:
- add orig_net_mode to store mode at creation time which will be used to
avoid breakage when namespace changes mode during socket/VM lifespan
Changes in v5:
- use /proc/sys/net/vsock/ns_mode instead of /proc/net/vsock_ns_mode
- change from net->vsock.ns_mode to net->vsock.mode
- change vsock_net_set_mode() to vsock_net_write_mode()
- vsock_net_write_mode() returns bool for write success to avoid
need to use vsock_net_mode_can_set()
- remove vsock_net_mode_can_set()

Why `orig_` prefix?
Maybe I need to review all the series, but it's a bit confusing for now.
I guess it's related to the new behaviour to not change the mode of
already created sockets (which I like), but IMHO this variable prefix is
confusing.It seems we will have another field with the "actual_" mode,
but if it's immutable, I'd avoid that prefix.

`orig_net_mode` is also explained in the next paragraph, should we
remove from here?

nit: I'd rewrite in this way, just because it seems easy to read to me,
but again not strong opinion, this is fine:
return orig_net_mode == VSOCK_NET_MODE_GLOBAL &&
orig_net_mode == vsk->orig_net_mode;

sysctl_header, or sysctl_hdr, or sysctl_ctl ?
I'd remove `vsock_` prefix and make more clear its used for sysctl.

I would call this `mode_set` or `mode_locked`, I mean with `mode_`
prefix to make sure we don't need to rename it when we will add new
fields in the future.
