net: allow to kill a task which waits net_mutex in copy_new_ns
net_mutex can be locked for a long time. It may be because many namespaces are being destroyed or many processes decide to create a network namespace. Both these operations are heavy, so it is better to have an ability to kill a process which is waiting net_mutex. Cc: "David S. Miller" <davem@davemloft.net> Cc: Eric W.
