pidns: fix set/getpriority and ioprio_set/get in PRIO_USER mode
setpriority(PRIO_USER, 0, x) will change the priority of tasks outside of
the current pid namespace. This is in contrast to both the other modes of
setpriority and the example of kill(-1). Fix this. getpriority and
ioprio have the same failure mode, fix them too.

: After some more thinking about it this patch sounds justifiable.

: My goal with namespaces is not to build perfect isolation mechanisms
: as that can get into ill defined territory, but to build well defined
: mechanisms. And to handle the corner cases so you can use only
: a single namespace with well defined results.
:
: In this case you have found the two interfaces I am aware of that
: identify processes by uid instead of by pid. Which quite frankly is
: weird. Unfortunately the weird unexpected cases are hard to handle
: in the usual way.

: I was hoping for a little more information. Changes like this one we
: have to be careful of because someone might be depending on the current
: behavior. I don't think they are and I do think this make sense as part
: of the pid namespace.
