Hi,

sys_clone() and sys_unshare() handles copy/clone of nsproxy
and its associated namespaces differently.

This patch merges all the handling into common functions
(as much as possible). 

Please review. If no objections, I would like to submit for 
inclusion into -mm.

Ran standard LTP tests, unshare uts, ipc tests fine.

Thanks,
Badari

Merge sys_clone/sys_unshare nsproxy and namespace copy handling.

- Create a new nsproxy and its associated namespaces and pass it
back to caller to attach it to right process.

- Changed all copy_*_ns() routines to attach the namespace to
passed in new nsproxy instead of task->nsproxy.

- Get rid of all individual unshare_*_ns() routines and make
use of copy_*_ns() instead.

Thanks, Badari, this looks great.  Barring failures in the set of
tests I just fired off, I'd love to see this merged.

thanks,
