Fix recursive lock in free_uid()/free_user_ns() 

free_uid() and free_user_ns() are corecursive when CONFIG_USER_SCHED=n,
but free_user_ns() is called from free_uid() by way of uid_hash_remove(),
which requires uidhash_lock to be held.  free_user_ns() then calls
free_uid() to complete the destruction.

Fix this by deferring the destruction of the user_namespace.
