[patch -mm] utsname namespace : fix unshare when CONFIG_UTS_NS isnot set

From: Cedric Le Goater
Date: Thu Sep 14 2006 - 11:38:44 EST


If the kernel is not configured with the CONFIG_UTS_NS, unshare of
ipc namespace will fail and return -EINVAL.

The patch changes the dummy unshare_utsname() to check the clone flags
before returning.
