Yep, since "struct pid *" is namespace invariant this has to be the way
to go.

But shouldn't pid_vnr(sbi->oz_pgrp) report the pid as seen in the
namespace of the calling process? In which case the only problem would
be listing the mount table from a subordinate namespace that cannot see
the process which did the mount, assuming fs namespace is not linked in
some strict way to pid namespace, this could give an odd result. What
might happen in this case Oleg?
