kobject: kset_create_and_add() - fetch ownership info from parent
This change implements get_ownership() for ksets created with kset_create_and_add() call by fetching ownership data from parent kobject. This is done mostly for benefit of "queues" attribute of net devices so that corresponding directory belongs to container's root instead of global root for network devices in a container.
