Subject: ns: drop custom reference count initialization for initial namespaces
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c2bbd2db521b018c59fb0ff8e1cdfa8ee907ba88;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

ns: drop custom reference count initialization for initial namespaces

Initial namespaces don't modify their reference count anymore.
They remain fixed at one so drop the custom refcount initializations.
