[PATCH v2] namespace: make timens_on_fork() return nothing

From: Hui Su
Date: Tue Nov 17 2020 - 11:20:07 EST


timens_on_fork() always return 0, and maybe not
need to judge the return value in copy_namespaces().

So make timens_on_fork() return nothing and do not
judge its return val in copy_namespaces().
