Subject: [PATCH 03/10] allow sethostname in a container

Changelog:
	Feb 23: let clone_uts_ns() handle setting uts->user_ns
		To do so we need to pass in the task_struct who'll
		get the utsname, so we can get its user_ns.
	Feb 23: As per Oleg's coment, just pass in tsk, instead of two
		of its members.
