[PATCH] namespace.c: fix mnt_namespace clearing

Browse Source 
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.
