[Devel] [PATCH 2/3] user_ns: bugfix and cleanup

From: Serge E. Hallyn <serue at us.ibm.com>
Subject: [PATCH 2/3] user_ns: bugfix and cleanup

The first two updates are used in the next patchset:

1. change get_user_ns to return the namespace
2. change get_user_ns and put_user_ns to handle NULL input

This fixes a bug in the lxc patchset:

3. when clone_mnt uses the user_ns from the original vfsmnt (for
   MNT_PRIV_USERNS mounts), it needs to put the user_ns which was
   gotten in alloc_mnt, and get the new one.
