[PATCH 6/9] mnt: simplify ns_common_init() handling

From: Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org>
Date: 2025-09-17 10:29:04
Also in: cgroups, linux-fsdevel, lkml
Subsystem: filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), the rest · Maintainers: Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Linus Torvalds

Assign the reserved MNT_NS_ANON_INO sentinel to anonymous mount
namespaces and cleanup the initial mount ns allocation. This is just a
preparatory patch and the ns->inum check in ns_common_init() will be
dropped in the next patch.
