For DEVMAP I think the same argument applies. DEVMAP is supposed
to operate with XDP only which is CAP_NET_ADMIN restricted so
we should restrict DEVMAP as well.

In the SOCKMAP case although the map can be created programs
can not be attached. So I'll restrict it to CAP_NET_ADMIN as well
until someone has a clear use case for allowing it. I don't have
a use case for non CAP_NET_ADMIN usage and its easier to relax
restrictions later than add them.

I have a couple fixes for sockmap under test so I'll add these
patches as well. Should have the set ready shortly, in a few days.

Thanks,
John
