Actually there is one problem here - copy_namespaces() is
specifically used only by clone() and it expects tsk to
not yet be live. So it just does
tsk->nsproxy = new_ns
Since you're doing this on current which is live, it would
have to use rcu_assign_pointer() to be safe.
So I'm afraid you're going to have to do a slightly uglier
thing where you unshare_nsproxy_namespaces() and then
switch_task_namespaces() to the new nsproxy.

Otherwise it looks good to me. My only other comment would be to soothe
readers' anxieties by putting a comment right here explaining that
switch_task_namespaces() will drop your ref to current->nsproxy->net_ns,
and that you had never dropped the ref to prev so it will be safe.
