[PATCH] disable unshare(CLONE_VM) for now

Browse source 
sys_unshare() does mmput(new_mm).  This is not enough if we have
mm->core_waiters.

This patch is a temporary fix for soon to be released 2.6.16.

[ Checked with Uli: "I'm not planning to use unshare(CLONE_VM).  It's
  not needed for any functionality planned so far.  What we (as in Red
  Hat) need unshare() for now is the filesystem side." ]
