4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcg...@kernel.org>
[ Upstream commit ed5bd7dc88edf4a4a9c67130742b1b59aa017a5f ]
The user_header gets caught by kmemleak with the following splat as
missing a free:
unreferenced object 0xffff99667a733d80 (size 96):
comm "swapper/0", pid 1, jiffies 4294892317 (age 62191.468s)
hex dump (first 32 bytes):
a0 b6 92 b4 ff ff ff ff 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 ................
01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................
backtrace:
kmemleak_alloc+0x4a/0xa0
__kmalloc+0x144/0x260
__register_sysctl_table+0x54/0x5e0
register_sysctl+0x1b/0x20
user_namespace_sysctl_init+0x17/0x34

kernel_init_freeable+0x173/0x200
kernel_init+0xe/0x100
ret_from_fork+0x2c/0x40
The BUG_ON()s are intended to crash so no need to clean up after
ourselves on error there. This is also a kernel/ subsys_init() we don't
need a respective exit call here as this is never modular, so just white
list it.
