User namespace feature freeze lifted

As of v4.3-rc1 all of the security issues I am aware of with the user
namespace have been addressed.  If someone knows of something I have
overlooked please let me know.

As much as humanly possible I want to avoid security bugs in the future
so I will endeavour to ensure any future user namespace patches receive
a close review.

As for merging features I expect I will likley start with Seth's code
for associating superblock with user namespaces, and then move on to
Lukasz's code for figuring out how to add namespace for smack.
