Interesting.  That line is protected with the check subset_ns !=
&init_user_ns so subset_ns->parent must be valid or subset_ns is not
a proper user namespace.

Ugh.  I think I see what is going on and it is just silly. 

It looks like by historical accident we have been reading trying to set
new->user_ns from new->user_ns.  Which is totally silly as new->user_ns
is NULL (as is every other field in new except session_keyring at that
point).

It looks like it is safe to sleep in key_change_session_keyring so why
we just don't use prepare_creds there like everywhere else is beyond
me.

The intent is clearly to copy all of the fields from old to new so what
we should be doing is is copying old->user_ns into new->user_ns.

Dave can you verify that this patch fixes the oops?
