[RFC PATCH 5/5] KEYS: exec request-key within the requesting task's init namespace

[Ian Kent]

Containerized request key helper callbacks need the ability to execute
a binary in a container's context. To do this calling an in kernel
equivalent of setns(2) should be sufficient since the user mode helper
execution kernel thread ultimately calls do_execve().
