Is there a reason to return the generic âstruct ns_common *â here
instead of âstruct user_namespace *â?  The current use case doesn't
need access to the additional information, but future ng_get_owner
callers might, and we know the returned namespace (if any) will be a
user namespace.

Cheers,
Trevor
