Pull namespace updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains namespace updates. This time specifically for nsfs:

   - Userspace heavily relies on the root inode numbers for namespaces
     to identify the initial namespaces. That's already a hard
     dependency. So we cannot change that anymore. Move the initial
     inode numbers to a public header and align the only two namespaces
     that currently don't do that with all the other namespaces.

   - The root inode of /proc having a fixed inode number has been part
     of the core kernel ABI since its inception, and recently some
     userspace programs (mainly container runtimes) have started to
     explicitly depend on this behaviour.

     The main reason this is useful to userspace is that by checking
     that a suspect /proc handle has fstype PROC_SUPER_MAGIC and is
     PROCFS_ROOT_INO, they can then use openat2() together with
     RESOLVE_{NO_{XDEV,MAGICLINK},BENEATH} to ensure that there isn't a
     bind-mount that replaces some procfs file with a different one.

     This kind of attack has lead to security issues in container
     runtimes in the past (such as CVE-2019-19921) and libraries like
     libpathrs[1] use this feature of procfs to provide safe procfs
     handling functions"
