Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace

Pull namespace fixes from Eric Biederman:
 "This is a set of 3 regression fixes.

  This fixes /proc/mounts when using "ip netns add <netns>" to display
  the actual mount point.

  This fixes a regression in clone that broke lxc-attach.

  This fixes a regression in the permission checks for mounting /proc
  that made proc unmountable if binfmt_misc was in use.  Oops.

  My apologies for sending this pull request so late.  Al Viro gave
  interesting review comments about the d_path fix that I wanted to
  address in detail before I sent this pull request.  Unfortunately a
  bad round of colds kept from addressing that in detail until today.
  The executive summary of the review was:

  Al: Is patching d_path really sufficient?
      The prepend_path, d_path, d_absolute_path, and __d_path family of
      functions is a really mess.

  Me: Yes, patching d_path is really sufficient.  Yes, the code is mess.
      No it is not appropriate to rewrite all of d_path for a regression
      that has existed for entirely too long already, when a two line
      change will do"
