The problem is that task->nsproxy can be equal NULL for some time during
task exit. This patch fixes the BUG.

25b21cb2f6 [PATCH] IPC namespace core
This patch set allows to unshare IPCs and have a private set of IPC objects
(sem, shm, msg) inside namespace.  Basically, it is another building block of
containers functionality.

This patch implements core IPC namespace changes:
- ipc_namespace structure
- new config option CONFIG_IPC_NS
- adds CLONE_NEWIPC flag
- unshare support

4865ecf131 [PATCH] namespaces: utsname: implement utsname namespaces
This patch defines the uts namespace and some manipulators.
Adds the uts namespace to task_struct, and initializes a
system-wide init namespace.

It leaves a #define for system_utsname so sysctl will compile.
This define will be removed in a separate patch.

1651e14e28 [PATCH] namespaces: incorporate fs namespace into nsproxy
This moves the mount namespace into the nsproxy.  The mount namespace count
now refers to the number of nsproxies point to it, rather than the number of
tasks.  As a result, the unshare_namespace() function in kernel/fork.c no
longer checks whether it is being shared.

ab516013ad [PATCH] namespaces: add nsproxy
This patch adds a nsproxy structure to the task struct.  Later patches will
move the fs namespace pointer into this structure, and introduce a new utsname
namespace into the nsproxy.

The vserver and openvz functionality, then, would be implemented in large part
by virtualizing/isolating more and more resources into namespaces, each
contained in the nsproxy.
