Thanks. I was thrown off by the author date of this patch which
introduced your problem

commit 8823c079ba7136dc1948d6f6dcb5f8022bde438e

    vfs: Add setns support for the mount namespace


It seems to have a 2 year gap between commit date and author date.
Either way, it looks to be isolated to the 3.8 merge window but affects
quite a few architectures. Patch to follow shortly.
