HEAD: 5155040ed349950e16c093ba8e65ad534994df2a userns: Fix typo in description of the limitation of userns_install

This tree is against v3.7-rc3

The embarrasing oversights that Andy found have been corrected.

While small this set of changes is very significant with respect to
containers in general and user namespaces in particular. The user space
interface is now complete.

This set of changes adds support for unprivileged users to create user
namespaces and as a user namespace root to create other namespaces. The
tyrrany of supporting suid root preventing unprivileged users from using
cool new kernel features is broken.

This set of changes completes the work on setns, adding support for
the pid, user, mount namespaces.

This set of changes includes a bunch of basic pid namespace
cleanups/simplifications. Of particular significance is the rework of
the pid namespace cleanup so it no longer requires sending out tendrils
into all kinds of unexpected cleanup paths for operation. At least one
case of broken error handling is fixed by this cleanup.

The files under /proc/<pid>/ns/ have been converted from regular files
to magic symlinks which prevents incorrect caching by the VFS, ensuring
the files always refer to the namespace the process is currently using
and ensuring that the ptrace_mayaccess permission checks are always
applied.

The files under /proc/<pid>/ns/ have been given stable inode numbers so
it is now possible to see if different processes share the same
namespaces.

Through the David Miller's net tree are changes to relax many of the
permission checks in the networking stack to allowing the user namespace
root to usefully use the networking stack. Similar changes for the
mount namespace and the pid namespace are coming through my tree.

Two small changes to add user namespace support were commited here
adn in David Miller's -net tree so that I could complete the work on the
/proc/<pid>/ns/ files in this tree.

Work remains to make it safe to build user namespaces and 9p, afs,
ceph, cifs, coda, gfs2, ncpfs, nfs, nfsd, ocfs2, and xfs so the Kconfig
guard remains in place preventing that user namespaces from being built
when any of those filesystems are enabled.

Future design work remains to allow root users outside of the initial
user namespace to mount more than just /proc and /sys.

proc: Fix the namespace inode permission checks.
proc: Usable inode numbers for the namespace file descriptors.
Fix cap_capable to only allow owners in the parent user namespace to have caps.
userns: Require CAP_SYS_ADMIN for most uses of setns.
userns: Add a more complete capability subset test to commit_creds
userns: Fix typo in description of the limitation of userns_install
