This prevents a much too easily triggered oops.

Subject: [PATCH] proc: Fix Oops on stat of /proc/<zombie pid>/ns/net

Don't call iput with the inode half setup to be a namespace filedescriptor.
Instead rearrange the code so that we don't initialize ei->ns_ops until
after I ns_ops->get succeeds, preventing us from invoking ns_ops->put
when ns_ops->get failed.
