[PATCH net v2] net: qualcomm: rmnet: require CAP_NET_ADMIN in the real device netns for changelink

[Abdifatah Suruur]

A changelink() on an rmnet device mutates the rmnet port state attached
to the real device (endpoint mux table, port->data_format and, via
rmnet_vnd_update_dev_mtu(), the real device MTU).  The real device may
live in a different netns than the rmnet device (rmnet_newlink()
resolves it in link_net), but the rtnl path only checks CAP_NET_ADMIN
against dev_net(dev).  A caller privileged only in the rmnet device's
netns can therefore rewrite the shared cellular data-path state owned by
another netns.

Gate rmnet_changelink() with rtnl_dev_link_net_capable(), matching the
"require CAP_NET_ADMIN in the device netns for changelink" series
(vxlan/geneve, CVE-2026-68432).
