Subject: [PATCH 1/9] pid_ns: ensure pid is not freed during kill_pid_info_as_uid

From: Serge Hallyn <serge.hallyn@...onical.com>

[ This is in Greg's USB tree, but not yet in Linus' tree;  it's here
just to give a full context. ]

Alan Stern points out that after spin_unlock(&ps->lock) there is no
guarantee that ps->pid won't be freed.  Since kill_pid_info_as_uid() is
called after the spin_unlock(), the pid passed to it must be pinned.
