pid: Extend/Fix pid_vnr
pid_vnr returns the user space pid with respect to the pid namespace the struct pid was allocated in. What we want before we return a pid to user space is the user space pid with respect to the pid namespace of current. pid_vnr is a very nice optimization but because it isn't quite what we want it is easy to use pid_vnr at times when we aren't certain the struct pid was allocated in our pid namespace. Currently this describes at least tiocgpgrp and tiocgsid in ttyio.c the parent process reported in the core dumps and the parent process in get_signal_to_deliver. So unless the performance impact is huge having an interface that does what we want instead of always what we want should be much more reliable and much less error prone. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
