[PATCH] namespaces: fix race at task exit

["Serge E. Hallyn" <serue@us.ibm.com>]

In do_exit(), the exit_task_namespaces() was placed after
exit_notify() because exit_notify ends up using the pid
namespace both to access the reaper, and for detaching the
pid.  However, this placement allows an nfs server to reap
the task before exit_task_namespaces() completes.

This patch moves the exit_task_namespaces() into release_task,
below release_thread() which puts the pids(), and just above
the call_rcu(delayed_put_task_struct).  I believe this should
solve both problems.
