ns: make sure reference are dropped outside of rcu lock

Browse source

The mount namespace may in fact sleep when putting the last passive
reference so we need to drop the namespace reference outside of the rcu
read lock. Do this by delaying the put until the next iteration where
we've already moved on to the next namespace and legitimized it. Once we
drop the rcu read lock to call put_user() we will also drop the
reference to the previous namespace in the tree.
