Serge E. Hallyn 1651e14e28 [PATCH] namespaces: incorporate fs namespace into nsproxy
This moves the mount namespace into the nsproxy.  The mount namespace count
now refers to the number of nsproxies point to it, rather than the number of
tasks.  As a result, the unshare_namespace() function in kernel/fork.c no
longer checks whether it is being shared.
