    ms/unshare: Fix nsproxy leak on set_cred_ucounts() error path
    
    If unshare_nsproxy_namespaces() successfully creates the new_nsproxy,
    but then set_cred_ucounts() fails, on its error path there is no cleanup
    for new_nsproxy, so it is leaked. Let's fix that by freeing new_nsproxy
    if it's not NULL on this error path.
