fix create_new_namespaces() return value

Browse Source 
dup_mnt_ns() and clone_uts_ns() return NULL on failure.  This is wrong,
create_new_namespaces() uses ERR_PTR() to catch an error.  This means that the
subsequent create_new_namespaces() will hit BUG_ON() in copy_mnt_ns() or
copy_utsname().

Modify create_new_namespaces() to also use the errors returned by the
copy_*_ns routines and not to systematically return ENOMEM.
