Subject: [PATCH] Fix failure path in alloc_pid()

The failure path removes the allocated PIDs from the wrong namespace.
This could lead to us inadvertently reusing PIDs in the leaf namespace
and leaking PIDs in parent namespaces.

Fixes: 95846ecf9dac ("pid: replace pid bitmap implementation with IDR API")
