I have no issue with the cgroup specific part of relying on
namespace_sem but kernel/cgroup/ has no business of being aware of
namespace semaphore in any way. Leave a comment to clarify what you're
doing but we're not going to sprinkle namespace_sem references - even if
only for the sake of lockdep - into other subsystems.
