[PATCH] proc: Fix Oops on stat of /proc/<zombie pid>/ns/net

From: Eric W. Biederman
Date: Wed Jun 15 2011 - 15:47:04 EST


Don't call iput with the inode half setup to be a namespace filedescriptor.
Instead rearrange the code so that we don't initialize ei->ns_ops until
after I ns_ops->get succeeds, preventing us from invoking ns_ops->put
when ns_ops->get failed.
