[PATCH] can_hardlink sysctl ported from FreeBSD

Hi,

    I like the concept, but the (FreeBSD) implementation does not look
    quite correct.
The FreeBSD implementation is correct, I made a typo :)

    I'm thinking we want something like this.  Notice the change I made
    to the hardlink_check_gid code?
	if (suser_cred(cred, PRISON_ROOT) == 0)
		return (0);
	
	error = VOP_GETATTR(vp, &va, td);
	if (error != 0)
		return (error);
	if (hardlink_check_uid) {
		if (cred->cr_uid != va.va_uid)
			return (EPERM);
	}
	
	if (hardlink_check_gid) {
		if (cred->cr_uid != va.va_uid && !groupmember(va.va_gid, cred))
			return (EPERM);
	}
I changed the code, tested it and generated a new diff (attached).
