[PATCH 1/2] pid_ns: move destroy_pid_namespace() into workqueue context

[Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>]

A separate patch to simplify the review of the next change.

Move destroy_pid_namespace() into workqueue context. This allows us to do
mntput() from free_pid_ns() paths, see the next patch.

Add the new member, "struct work_struct destroy" into struct pid_namespace
and change free_pid_ns() to call destroy_pid_namespace() via schedule_work().

The patch looks a bit complicated because it also moves copy_pid_ns() up.
