This patch clears mnt_namespace on unmount.
Not clearing mnt_namespace has two effects:
1) It is possible to attach a new mount to a detached mount,
because check_mnt() returns true.
This means, that when no other references to the detached mount
remain, it still can't be freed. This causes a resource leak,
and possibly un-removable modules.
2) If mnt_namespace is dereferenced (only in mark_mounts_for_expiry())
after the namspace has been freed, it can cause an Oops, memory
corruption, etc.
1) has been tested before and after the patch, 2) is only speculation.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
