namespaces: Simplify copy_namespaces so it is clear what is going on.
Remove the test for the impossible case where tsk->nsproxy == NULL. Fork will never be called with tsk->nsproxy == NULL. Only call get_nsproxy when we don't need to generate a new_nsproxy, and mark the case where we don't generate a new nsproxy as likely. Remove the code to drop an unnecessarily acquired nsproxy value.
