Subject: [PATCH 3/5] Hide the dead code in the net_namespace.c

From: Pavel Emelyanov <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 31 Oct 2007 22:28:51 +0300

The namespace creation/destruction code is never called
if the CONFIG_NET_NS is n, so it's OK to move it under
appropriate ifdef.

The copy_net_ns() in the "n" case checks for flags and
returns -EINVAL when new net ns is requested. In a perfect
world this stub must be in net_namespace.h, but this
function need to know the CLONE_NEWNET value and thus
requires sched.h. On the other hand this header is to be
injected into almost every .c file in the networking code,
and making all this code depend on the sched.h is a
suicidal attempt.
