   HEAD: 344470cac42e887e68cfb5bdfa6171baf27f1eb5 proc: Point /proc/mounts at /proc/thread-self/mounts instead of /proc/self/mounts

This is a bunch of small changes built against 3.16-rc6.  The most
significant change for users is the first patch which makes setns
drmatically faster by removing unneded rcu handling.

The next chunk of changes are so that "mount -o remount,.." will not
allow the user namespace root to drop flags on a mount set by the system
wide root.  Aks this forces read-only mounts to stay read-only, no-dev
mounts to stay no-dev, no-suid mounts to stay no-suid, no-exec mounts to
stay no exec and it prevents unprivileged users from messing with a
mounts atime settings.  I have included my test case as the last patch
in this series so people performing backports can verify this change
works correctly.

The next change fixes a bug in NFS that was discovered while auditing
nsproxy users for the first optimization.  Today you can oops the kernel
by reading /proc/fs/nfsfs/{servers,volumes} if you are clever with pid
namespaces.  I rebased and fixed the build of the !CONFIG_NFS_FS case
yesterday when a build bot caught my typo.  Given that no one to my
knowledge bases anything on my tree fixing the typo in place seems more
responsible that requiring a typo-fix to be backported as well.

The last change is a small semantic cleanup introducing
/proc/thread-self and pointing /proc/mounts and /proc/net at it.  This
prevents several kinds of problemantic corner cases.  It is a
user-visible change so it has a minute chance of causing regressions so
the change to /proc/mounts and /proc/net are individual one line commits
that can be trivially reverted.  Unfortunately I lost and could not find
the email of the original reporter so he is not credited.  From at least
one perspective this change to /proc/net is a refgression fix to allow
pthread /proc/net uses that were broken by the introduction of the network
namespace.
