Subject: [PATCH] proc: Proper pidns handling for /proc/self


Currently if you access a /proc that is not mounted with your
processes current pid namespace /proc/self will point at a completely
different process.  Ouch!.

This patch fixes /proc/self to point to the current process if
it is available in the particular mount of /proc or to return
-ENOENT if the current process is not visible.
