Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel…

…/git/ebiederm/user-namespace

Pull ptrace fix from Eric Biederman:
 "This fixes a brown paper bag bug. When I fixed the ptrace interaction
  with user namespaces I added a new field ptracer_cred in struct_task
  and I failed to properly initialize it on fork.

  This dangling pointer wound up breaking runing setuid applications run
  from the enlightenment window manager.

  As this is the worst sort of bug. A regression breaking user space for
  no good reason let's get this fixed"
