Al Viro 74e831221c saner handling of temporary namespaces
mount_subtree() creates (and soon destroys) a temporary namespace,
so that automounts could function normally.  These beasts should
never become anyone's current namespaces; they don't, but it would
be better to make prevention of that more straightforward.  And
since they don't become anyone's current namespace, we don't need
to bother with reserving procfs inums for those.

Teach alloc_mnt_ns() to skip inum allocation if told so, adjust
put_mnt_ns() accordingly, make mount_subtree() use temporary
(anon) namespace.  is_anon_ns() checks if a namespace is such.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
