[RFC PATCH 01/11] driver core: Assign owning user namespace to devices

[Seth Forshee]

Adds a member to struct device named ns to indicate the user
namespace which "owns" a device, which would generally indicate
that root in that namespace is priveleged toward the device. It
will also be used for future devtmpfs to determine which
namespace's mount the device will appear in. This defaults to
init_user_ns. An ns_global flag is also added to struct device,
which indicates the device should appear in all devtmpfs mounts.

Also adds a helper interface, dev_set_ns(), for changing the
namespace which a device has been assigned to.
