Move mntget from the very beginning of __ns_get_path to
the success path of __ns_get_path, and remove the mntget
calls.
This removes the possibility that there will be a mntget/mntput
pair of __ns_get_path has to retry, and generally simplifies the code.

Pid and user namepaces are hierarchical. There is no way to discover
parent-child relationships.
In a future we will use this interface to dump and restore nested
namespaces.

Each namespace has an owning user namespace and now there is not way
to discover these relationships.
Understending namespaces relationships allows to answer the question:
what capability does process X have to perform operations on a resource
governed by namespace Y?
After a long discussion, Eric W. Biederman proposed to use ioctl-s for
this purpose.
The NS_GET_USERNS ioctl returns a file descriptor to an owning user
namespace.
It returns EPERM if a target namespace is outside of a current user
namespace.
v2: rename parent to relative
v3: Add a missing mntput when returning -EAGAIN --EWB

The seq_<foo> function return values were frequently misused.
See: commit 1f33c41c03 ("seq_file: Rename seq_overflow() to
seq_has_overflowed() and make public")
All uses of these return values have been removed, so convert the
return types to void.
Miscellanea:
o Move seq_put_decimal_<type> and seq_escape prototypes closer the
other seq_vprintf prototypes
o Reorder seq_putc and seq_puts to return early on overflow
o Add argument names to seq_vprintf and seq_printf
o Update the seq_escape kernel-doc
o Convert a couple of leading spaces to tabs in seq_escape

Today mountinfo displays a very unhelpful "/" for nsfs files. Add a
show_path method returning the same string as ns_dname. This results
in a bind mount of /proc/<pid>/ns/net showing up in /proc/<pid>/mountinfo as
"net:[1234...]" instead of "/".

New pseudo-filesystem: nsfs. Targets of /proc/*/ns/* live there now.
It's not mountable (not even registered, so it's not in /proc/filesystems,
etc.). Files on it *are* bindable - we explicitly permit that in do_loopback().
This stuff lives in fs/nsfs.c now; proc_ns_fget() moved there as well.
get_proc_ns() is a macro now (it's simply returning ->i_private; would
have been an inline, if not for header ordering headache).
proc_ns_inode() is an ex-parrot. The interface used in procfs is
ns_get_path(path, task, ops) and ns_get_name(buf, size, task, ops).
Dentries and inodes are never hashed; a non-counting reference to dentry
is stashed in ns_common (removed by ->d_prune()) and reused by ns_get_path()
if present. See ns_get_path()/ns_prune_dentry/nsfs_evict() for details
of that mechanism.
As the result, proc_ns_follow_link() has stopped poking in nd->path.mnt;
it does nd_jump_link() on a consistent <vfsmount,dentry> pair it gets
from ns_get_path().
