Subject: [PATCH v2 31/63] selftests/namespaces: twelth active reference
 count tests

Test hierarchical propagation with deep namespace hierarchy.
Create: init_user_ns -> user_A -> user_B -> net_ns
When net_ns is active, both user_A and user_B should be active.
This verifies the conditional recursion in __ns_ref_active_put() works.
