Pull sysctl fix from Eric Biederman:
 "A rather embarassing and hard to hit bug was merged into 4.11-rc1.

  Andrei Vagin tracked this bug now and after some staring at the code
  I came up with a fix"

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace:
  proc: Fix proc_sys_prune_dcache to hold a sb reference
