time/namespace: Add max_time_namespaces ucount
Michael noticed that userns limit for number of time namespaces is missing. Furthermore, time namespace introduced UCOUNT_TIME_NAMESPACES, but didn't introduce an array member in user_table[]. It would make array's initialisation OOB write, but by luck the user_table array has an excessive empty member (all accesses to the array are limited with UCOUNT_COUNTS - so it silently reuses the last free member. Fixes user-visible regression: max_inotify_instances by reason of the missing UCOUNT_ENTRY() has limited max number of namespaces instead of the number of inotify instances.
