    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"
    
    * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace:
      vfs: Fix a regression in mounting proc
      fork:  Allow CLONE_PARENT after setns(CLONE_NEWPID)
      vfs: In d_path don't call d_dname on a mount point
