Sure, we can move this in kernel/time. I don't remember why I decided to
place it in kernel/.

I don't think so. All of other members are initialized in clone_time_ns.
Maybe we don't need this helper. When I wrote this code, I looked at
kernel/utsname.c. I will think what we can do here to make this code
more clear.

This one should be initialized in clone_time_ns too.

Will fix. Thanks!

Will fix.

Because we change nsproxy->time_ns and nsproxy->time_ns_for_children.

Probably, I need to reorgonize the code this way:

	get_time_ns(ns);
	put_time_ns(nsproxy->time_ns);
	nsproxy->time_ns = ns;

	get_time_ns(ns);
	put_time_ns(nsproxy->time_ns_for_children);
	nsproxy->time_ns_for_children = ns;

When we discussed time namespaces last year, we decided that clock
offsets can be set only before any task enters a namespace.

When a namespace is created, ns->initialized is set to false. When a
task enters the namespace, ns->initialized is set to true.

Namespace clock offsets can be changed only if ns->initialized is false.

A new task can be forked to a specified time namespace or it can call
setns, so we set ns->initialized to true in timens_on_fork and
timens_install.

Will fix. Thanks.
