Fork transaction error when user has no namespace appears after migration

Created by: Phr33d0m

Hello, I stumbled upon an issue when I was trying to fork a repo. Googling up the issue I found at least about 4-5 reported issues about it.

I found a super easy solution posted by @pincoded at #5315. Looking up a bit further I found another reference at #6837 by @archony (and #4016 (closed)) which says this pull-req should have fixed it (in February), but I'm having this issue now with Gitlab 7.9.4.

To the point, this happened after migrating our Gitlab installation from one server to another (both running Ubuntu 14.04), so I guess this might be showing up only after a migration.

We were using Gitlab 7.9.2 on our old server (and created the backup using that version) and installed 7.9.2 on the new server, after a couple of days we upgraded to 7.9.4 if this information matters in any way.

This user existed before the migration, so it might be a backup & restore issue?
