[PATCH] namespace.c: fix mnt_namespace zeroing for expired mounts 

This patch clears mnt_namespace in an expired mount.

If mnt_namespace is not cleared, it's possible to attach a new mount to the
already detached mount, because check_mnt() can return true.

The effect is a resource leak, since the resulting tree will never be
freed.
