Convert namespace_sem to a mutex

[Bharata B Rao <bharata@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

From: Bharata B Rao <bharata@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

namespace_sem is a rwsem. It is acquired as read sem at only one place(used
by /proc/mounts, /proc/<pid>/mounts and /proc/<pid>/mountstats). In all other
cases it is acquired as a write sem. So, as there is not more than one reader
for this sem, this can be a generic sem (and not rwsem) and if so it can be
a mutex.

Patch is for 2.6.22-rc1-mm1.
