[PATCH 07/43] cred: Refcount the user_ns pointed to by the cred.

["\"Eric W. Beiderman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>]

From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>

struct user_struct will shortly loose it's user_ns reference
so make the cred user_ns reference a proper reference complete
with reference counting.
