[RFC 18/20] userns: Introduce a refcount variable for calling early teardown function

[Stefan Berger <stefanb@linux.ibm.com>]

Extend the user_namespace structure with a refcount_teardown variable to
cause an early teardown function to be invoked. This allows the IMA
namespace to initialize a filesystem that holds one additional reference
to the user namespace it 'belongs' to. Therefore, the refount_teardown
variable will be incremented by '1' once that additional reference has
been created. Once the user namespace's reference counter is decremented
to '1', this early teardown function is invoked and the additional user
namespace reference released and the actual deletion of the user
namespace can then proceed as usual.
