[RFC PATCH 4/4] namespacefs: Couple namespacefs to the UTS namespace

[Yordan Karadzhov (VMware)]

When the UTS namespace gets initialized, a directory called 'uts'
is added to namespacesfs. This directory represents the main UTS
namespace and also serves as a trunk (parent) of all other UTS
namespaces. Every time when a new UTS namespace is created a
corresponding directory is added to 'namespacefs/uts/'. The 'inum'
of the new namespace gives the name of its directory. When a UTS
namespace is destroyed the corresponding directory is removed. Each
directory contains a file called 'uname' that can be used to get the
unique data fields of the uts namespaces(sysname, nodename, ...).
