I would add smth like this to the comment:

When a task creates a new pid namespace, its init (i.e. this task's
child) will have pids with extra info inside - the new numerical id,
that represent this new task in this new namespace. Thus, we have 
to allocate this new pid only after the namespace creation to find 
out which namespace this pid will live in.

Hope, I expressed my idea cleanly.
