From: Serge E. Hallyn <serue@...ibm.com>
Subject: [PATCH -mm 5/8] user ns: prepare copy_tree, copy_mnt, and their callers to handle errs

With shareduserns and non-shareduserns mounts, it will be possible
for clone_mnt to return -EPERM if a namespace tries to bind
mount a non-shareduserns vfsmnt from another user namespace.
But currently they only return NULL, which is interpreted as
-ENOMEM.  Update the callers to handle other errors.
