Subject[PATCH v21 013/100] c/r: break out new_user_ns()
Date
From: Serge E. Hallyn <serue@us.ibm.com>

Break out the core function which checks privilege and (if
allowed) creates a new user namespace, with the passed-in
creating user_struct. Note that a user_namespace, unlike
other namespace pointers, is not stored in the nsproxy.
Rather it is purely a property of user_structs.

This will let us keep the task restore code simpler.
