[Devel] [PATCH VZ10 01/12] 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.

Fixes: 905ae01c4ae2a ("Add a reference to ucounts for each cred")
