The goal is to be able to inherit the initial devconf parameters from the
current netns, ie the netns where this new netns has been created.
This is useful in a containers environment where /proc/sys is read only.
For example, if a pod is created with specifics devconf parameters and has
the capability to create netns, the user expects to get the same parameters
than his 'init_net', which is not the real init_net in this case.

Documentation for the kernel.modprobe sysctl was added both by
commit 0317c5371e6a ("docs: merge debugging-modules.txt into
sysctl/kernel.rst") and by commit 6e7158250625 ("docs: admin-guide:
document the kernel.modprobe sysctl"), resulting in the same sysctl
being documented in two places. Merge these into one place.

Pull time(keeping) updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Fix the time_for_children symlink in /proc/$PID/ so it properly
reflects that it part of the 'time' namespace
- Add the missing userns limit for the allowed number of time
namespaces, which was half defined but the actual array member was
not added. This went unnoticed as the array has an exessive empty
member at the end but introduced a user visible regression as the
output was corrupted.
- Prevent further silent ucount corruption by adding a BUILD_BUG_ON()
to catch half updated data.

Michael noticed that userns limit for number of time namespaces is missing.
Furthermore, time namespace introduced UCOUNT_TIME_NAMESPACES, but didn't
introduce an array member in user_table[]. It would make array's
initialisation OOB write, but by luck the user_table array has an excessive
empty member (all accesses to the array are limited with UCOUNT_COUNTS - so
it silently reuses the last free member.
Fixes user-visible regression: max_inotify_instances by reason of the
missing UCOUNT_ENTRY() has limited max number of namespaces instead of the
number of inotify instances.
Fixes: 769071ac9f20 ("ns: Introduce Time Namespace")

Since commit 5bbe3547aa3ba ("mm: allow compaction of unevictable pages")
it is allowed to examine mlocked pages and compact them by default. On
-RT even minor pagefaults are problematic because it may take a few 100us
to resolve them and until then the task is blocked.
Make compact_unevictable_allowed = 0 default and issue a warning on RT if
it is changed.

Commit 9c44bc03fff4 ("softlockup: allow panic on lockup") added the
softlockup_panic sysctl, but didn't add information about it to the file
Documentation/admin-guide/sysctl/kernel.rst (which in that time certainly
wasn't rst and had other name!).
This patch just adds the respective documentation and references it from
the corresponding entry in Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt.
This patch was strongly based on Scott Wood's commit d22881dc13b6
("Documentation: Better document the hardlockup_panic sysctl").

This updates sysctl/kernel.rst to use ReStructured Text more fully:
* the list of files is now the table of contents (old entries with no
corresponding sections are added as empty sections for now);
* code references and commands are formatted as code, except for
function names which end up linked to the appropriate documentation;
* links are used to point to other documentation and other sections;
* tables are used to make lists of values more readable (as already
done for some sections);
* in heavily-reworked paragraphs, sentences are wrapped individually,
to make future diffs easier to read.
The first mention of the kernel version is dropped. The second
mention, saying that the document is accurate for 2.2, is preserved
for now; I will update that once the document really is accurate for a
current kernel release.

There is somehow no description of %c corename format specifier for
/proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern. The %c corename format specifier is
