kernel/user.c: fix a memory leak when freeing up non-init usernamespaces users

Browse source 
We were returning early in the sysfs directory cleanup function if the
user belonged to a non init usernamespace.  Due to this a lot of the
cleanup was not done and we were left with a leak.  Fix the leak.
