Subject: [PATCH] netns: dangling pointer on netns bind mount point.

When we try to bind mount on network namespace (ex) /proc/{pid}/ns/net,
inode's private data can have dangling pointer to net_namespace that was
already freed in below case.

    1. Forking the process.
    2. [PARENT] Waiting the Child till the end.
    3. [CHILD] call unshare for creating new network namespace
    4. [CHILD] Bind mount with /proc/self/ns/net to some mount point.
    5. [CHILD] Exit child.
    6. [PARENT] Try to setns with binded mount point

In step 5, net_namespace made by child process'll be freed,
But in bind mount point, it still held the pointer to net_namespace made
by child process.
In this situation, when parent try to call "setns" systemcall with the
bind mount point, parent process try to access to freed memory, That
makes memory corruption.

This patch fix the above scenario by increaseing reference count.
