To me tsk looks more readable, I mean

	new_nsp->uts_ns = copy_utsname(flags, tsk);

copy_utsname() can find both uts_ns and user_ns looking at task_strcut.

But this is cosmetic and up to you and Serge.


But. I think it makes sense to pass "tsk" argument to copy_pid_ns() as well.
This way we can remove some CLONE_PIDNS code in copy_process(), and this
looks like a nice cleanaup (even if minor) to me.

Oleg.
