[PATCH review 06/16] userns: Allow unprivileged use of setns.

[Eric W. Biederman]

From: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

- Push the permission check from the core setns syscall into
  the setns install methods where the user namespace of the
  target namespace can be determined, and used in a ns_capable
  call.
