[PATCH] userns: Allow init_user_ns to be used from non-gpl modules

From: Nikolay Borisov
Date: Mon May 23 2016 - 08:00:24 EST


This patch changes the export attributes of the init_user_ns from
GPL-only to any modules. This needed so that non-gpl modules, such as
ZFS, utilize functions like i_(uid|gid)_(read|write).
