user_ns: improve the user_ns on-the-slab packaging

Browse Source 
Currently on 64-bit arch the user_namespace is 2096 and when being
kmalloc-ed it resides on a 4k slab wasting 2003 bytes.

If we allocate a separate cache for it and reduce the hash size from 128
to 64 chains the packaging becomes *much* better - the struct is 1072
bytes and the hole between is 98 bytes.
