In my initial version, I did same. It doesn't work :(

copy_*_ns() routines doesn't return any errors. All they return is NULL
in case of a
failure + with the exception of copy_mnt_ns, there are no other failure
cases.
So, there is no way to find out why the copy_*_ns() routines failed from
create_new_namespaces().
If you really really want to do this, change all copy_*_ns() routines to
returns meaningful
errors instead of NULL.

Hmm.. copy_user_ns() ? I don't see this in rc4-mm2.
