[PATCH] fs/namespace.c:dup_namespace(): fix a use after free
The Coverity checker spotted the following bug in dup_namespace(): <-- snip --> if (!new_ns->root) { up_write(&namespace_sem); kfree(new_ns); goto out; } ... out: return new_ns; <-- snip --> Callers expect a non-NULL result to not be freed.
