[PATCH 3/3] user namespaces: reset task's credentials on CLONE_NEWUSER

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

Currently, creating a new user namespace does not reset
the task's uid or gid.  Since generally that is done as
root because it requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN, and since the
first uid in the new namespace is 0, one usually doesn't
notice.  However, if one does

	capset cap_sys_admin=ep ns_exec
	su - hallyn
	  ns_exec -U /bin/sh
	  id

then one will see hallyn's userid, and all preexisting
groups.

With this patch, cloning a new user namespace will set
the task's uid and gid to 0, and reset the group_info to
the empty set assigned to init.
