    pid: implement ns_of_pid · f9fb860f

    A current problem with the pid namespace is that it is easy to do pid
    related work after exit_task_namespaces which drops the nsproxy pointer.
    
    However if we are doing pid namespace related work we are always operating
    on some struct pid which retains the pid_namespace pointer of the pid
    namespace it was allocated in.
    
    So provide ns_of_pid which allows us to find the pid namespace a pid was
    allocated in.
    
    Using this we have the needed infrastructure to do pid namespace related
    work at anytime we have a struct pid, removing the chance of accidentally
    having a NULL pointer dereference when accessing current->nsproxy.
