The free_pid_ns function done in recursion fashion:
free_pid_ns(parent)
put_pid_ns(parent)
kref_put(&ns->kref, free_pid_ns);
free_pid_ns
thus if there was a huge nesting of namespaces the userspace
may trigger avalanche calling of free_pid_ns leading to
kernel stack exhausting and a panic eventually.
This patch turns the recursion into iterative loop.
v5 (from oleg@):
- Drop @ret variable
- Make put_pid_ns non-inline since it grows in size,
in turn make free_pid_ns static
