From: Doruk Tan Ozturk <[email protected]>

commit 8efb8f8bbb353b8f2fdf4f37534c6d96c9f69e01 upstream.

A tunnel changelink() operates on at most two netns, dev_net(dev) and
the sticky underlay netns geneve->net. They differ once the device is
created in or moved to a netns other than the one the request runs in.
The rtnl changelink path checks CAP_NET_ADMIN only against dev_net(dev),
so a caller privileged there but not in geneve->net can rewrite a geneve
device whose underlay lives in geneve->net.

geneve_changelink() applies the new configuration against geneve->net:
geneve_link_config() and the geneve_quiesce()/geneve_unquiesce() pair
reopen the underlay sockets in that netns (geneve_sock_add() uses
geneve->net), so the same reasoning as the tunnel changelink series
applies here.

Gate geneve_changelink() with rtnl_dev_link_net_capable(), at the top of
the op before any attribute is parsed, matching ipgre_changelink() and
the rest of the "require CAP_NET_ADMIN in the device netns for
changelink" series.
