So I removed this test in

* daemonize() bc it is already done 
* sys_unshare() bc the nsproxy is always new one 
* exit_task_namespaces() bc it is called with NULL and the
  task will die right after that.

C.


make-access-to-tasks-nsproxy-lighter.patch breaks unshare()

when called from unshare(), switch_task_namespaces() takes an 
extra refcount on the nsproxy, leading to a memory leak of 
nsproxy objects. 

Now the problem is that we still need that extra ref when called 
from daemonize(). Here's an ugly fix for it.
