  36 * the namespaces access rules are:
  37 *
  38 *  1. only current task is allowed to change tsk->nsproxy pointer or
  39 *     any pointer on the nsproxy itself.  Current must hold the task_lock
  40 *     when changing tsk->nsproxy.
  41 *
  42 *  2. when accessing (i.e. reading) current task's namespaces - no
  43 *     precautions should be taken - just dereference the pointers
  44 *
  45 *  3. the access to other task namespaces is performed like this
  46 *     task_lock(task);
  47 *     nsproxy = task->nsproxy;
  48 *     if (nsproxy != NULL) {
  49 *             / *

  51 *               * e.g. get the reference on one of them
  52 *               * /
  53 *     } / *
  54 *         * NULL task->nsproxy means that this task is
  55 *         * almost dead (zombie)
