[PATCH] Revert "[PATCH] identifier to nsproxy"

This reverts commit 373beb35cd6b625e0ba4ad98baace12310a26aa8.

No one is using this identifier yet.  The purpose of this identifier is to
export nsproxy to user space which is wrong.  nsproxy is an internal
implementation optimization, which should keep our fork times from getting
slower as we increase the number of global namespaces you don't have to
share.

Adding a global identifier like this is inappropriate because it makes
namespaces inherently non-recursive, greatly limiting what we can do with
them in the future.
