pid: implement ns_of_pid

Browse Source 
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.
