Is there a reason to return the generic ‘struct ns_common *’ here
instead of ‘struct user_namespace *’?  The current use case doesn't
need access to the additional information, but future ng_get_owner
callers might, and we know the returned namespace (if any) will be a
user namespace.

Cheers,
Trevor
