[PATCH -mm 7/9] unshare system call: allow unsharing of namespace

If the namespace 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. Fixed dup_namespace()
to update the correct filesystem structure (12/13/05)
