So. Please the the patches. On top of

[PATCH 1/4] procfs: proc_get_sb: consolidate/cleanup root_inode->pid logic
[PATCH 2/4] procfs: kill the global proc_mnt variable
[PATCH 3/4] procfs: move pid_ns_prepare_proc() from copy_process() to create_pid_namespace()

Still untested, sorry. There was no electricity in office this weekend,
and I can hardly work from home ;) I am sending this fix for review.

And let me repeat, I do not think this approach is the best (even _if_
this change is correct), just my attempt to fix the bugs.

What do you think?

Oleg.
