I think I changed my mind half way through writing the code and never
did anything about it.  Oops.

Thanks fixed.  It is now:

struct net *get_net_ns_by_fd(int fd)
{
	struct proc_inode *ei;
	struct file *file;
	struct net *net;

	net = ERR_PTR(-EINVAL);
	file = proc_ns_fget(fd);
	if (!file)
		goto out;

	ei = PROC_I(file->f_dentry->d_inode);
	if (ei->ns_ops != &netns_operations)
		goto out;

	net = get_net(ei->ns);
out:
	if (file)
		fput(file);
	return net;
}

Which at least makes sense.  Now to test it to double check it does what
it should do.
