Subject: [PATCH 27/32] nsfs: support file handles
A while ago we added support for file handles to pidfs so pidfds can be
encoded and decoded as file handles. Userspace has adopted this quickly
and it's proven very useful. Pidfd file handles are exhaustive meaning
they don't require a handle on another pidfd to pass to
open_by_handle_at() so it can derive the filesystem to decode in.
Implement the exhaustive file handles for namespaces as well.
