 * the namespaces access rules are:

 *  1. only current task is allowed to change tsk->nsproxy pointer or
 *     any pointer on the nsproxy itself.  Current must hold the task_lock
 *     when changing tsk->nsproxy.
 *
 *  2. when accessing (i.e. reading) current task's namespaces - no
 *     precautions should be taken - just dereference the pointers
 *
 *  3. the access to other task namespaces is performed like this
 *     task_lock(task);
 *     nsproxy = task->nsproxy;
 *     if (nsproxy != NULL) {
 *             / *
 *               * work with the namespaces here
 *               * e.g. get the reference on one of them
 *               * /
 *     } / *
 *         * NULL task->nsproxy means that this task is
 *         * almost dead (zombie)
