user namespace: fix copy_user_ns return value

When a CONFIG_USER_NS=n and a user tries to unshare some namespace other
than the user namespace, the dummy copy_user_ns returns NULL rather than
the old_ns.

This value then gets assigned to task->nsproxy->user_ns, so that a
subsequent setuid, which uses task->nsproxy->user_ns, causes a NULL
pointer deref.

Fix this by returning old_ns.
