add a kmem_cache for nsproxy objects
It should improve performance in some scenarii where a lot of
these nsproxy objects are created by unsharing namespaces. This is
a typical use of virtual servers that are being created or entered.
This is also a good tool to find leaks and gather statistics on
namespace usage.
