pid namespaces: initialize the namespace's proc_mnt

The namespace's proc_mnt must be kern_mount-ed to make this pointer always
valid, independently of whether the user space mounted the proc or not.  This
solves raced in proc_flush_task, etc.  with the proc_mnt switching from NULL
to not-NULL.

The initialization is done after the init's pid is created and hashed to make
proc_get_sb() finr it and get for root inode.

Sice the namespace holds the vfsmnt, vfsmnt holds the superblock and the
superblock holds the namespace we must explicitly break this circle to destroy
all the stuff.  This is done after the init of the namespace dies.  Running a
few steps forward - when init exits it will kill all its children, so no
proc_mnt will be needed after its death.
