userns: Make seq_file's user namespace accessible
struct file already has a user namespace associated with it in file->f_cred->user_ns, unfortunately because struct seq_file has no struct file backpointer associated with it, it is difficult to get at the user namespace in seq_file context. Therefore add a helper function seq_user_ns to return the associated user namespace and a user_ns field to struct seq_file to be used in implementing seq_user_ns.
