Subject: [RFC][v4][PATCH 1/7]: Factor out code to allocate pidmap page

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.
