From: Serge Hallyn <serue@us.ibm.com>
Subject: [RFC][v8][PATCH 3/10]: Make pid_max a pid_ns property
Remove the pid_max global, and make it a property of the
pid_namespace. When a pid_ns is created, it inherits
the parent's pid_ns.
Fixing up sysctl (trivial akin to ipc version, but
potentially tedious to get right for all CONFIG*
combinations) is left for later.
Changelog[v2]:
- Port to newer kernel
- Make pid_max a local variable in alloc_pidmap() to simplify code/patch
