[NETFILTER]: Missing check for CAP_NET_ADMIN in iptables compat layer 

The 32bit compatibility layer has no CAP_NET_ADMIN check in
compat_do_ipt_get_ctl, which for example allows to list the current
iptables rules even without having that capability (the non-compat
version requires it). Other capabilities might be required to exploit
the bug (eg. CAP_NET_RAW to get the nfnetlink socket?), so a plain user
can't exploit it, but a setup actually using the posix capability system
might very well hit such a constellation of granted capabilities.
