[PATCH -mm 6/9] unshare system call: allow unsharing of filesystem

If filesystem structure is being shared, allocate a new one and
copy information from the current, shared, structure.

Changes since the first submission of this patch on 12/12/05:
- Removed an unnecessary local variable (12/13/05)
