Tried to reproduce with setting CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED=y, but did not
succeed.  Could you send me the .config?  Also, if someone could send
the objdump -d output that might help.  Though really, it seems clear
that current->nsproxy must be NULL.  Hm, that's right -  we used to have
that issue in pidns (or was it netns) during process exit.  I don't know
that I'll get time this afternoon, but I'll look into it asap.

thanks.
