Subject: [RFC v17][PATCH 11/60] pids 1/7: Factor out code to allocate pidmap page

From: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <sukadev@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

To implement support for clone_with_pids() system call we would
need to allocate pidmap page in more than one place. Move this
code to a new function alloc_pidmap_page().

Changelog[v2]:
	- (Matt Helsley, Dave Hansen) Have alloc_pidmap_page() return
	  -ENOMEM on error instead of -1.
