Subject: kobject: Export kobj_ns_grab_current() and kobj_ns_drop()
Patch-mainline: v4.16-rc1
Git-commit: 172856eac7cfaaeabad6a282d3c79d687ad69fc0
References: bsc#1103992 FATE#326009
Make it possible to call these two functions from a kernel module.
Note: despite their name, these two functions can be used meaningfully
independent of kobjects. A later patch will add calls to these
functions from the SRP driver because this patch series modifies the
SRP driver such that it can hold a reference to a namespace that can
last longer than the lifetime of the process through which the
namespace reference was obtained.
