[PATCH] uts: copy nsproxy only when needed
The nsproxy was being copied in unshare() when anything was being unshared, even if it was something not referenced from nsproxy. This should end up in some cases with far more memory usage than necessary. Signed-off-by: Serge Hallyn <serue@us.ibm.com> Cc: Kirill Korotaev <dev@openvz.org> Cc: "Eric W.
