[PATCH] namespace.c: fix mnt_namespace clearing
This patch clears mnt_namespace on unmount.
Not clearing mnt_namespace has two effects:
1) It is possible to attach a new mount to a detached mount,
because check_mnt() returns true.
This means, that when no other references to the detached mount
remain, it still can't be freed. This causes a resource leak,
and possibly un-removable modules.
2) If mnt_namespace is dereferenced (only in mark_mounts_for_expiry())
after the namspace has been freed, it can cause an Oops, memory
corruption, etc.
1) has been tested before and after the patch, 2) is only speculation.
