Subject: [RFC][v5][PATCH 3/8] Make pid_max a pid_ns property



From: Serge Hallyn <serue@...ibm.com>
Subject: [RFC][v5][PATCH 3/8] Make pid_max a pid_ns property

Remove the pid_max global, and make it a property of the
pid_namespace.  When a pid_ns is created, it inherits
the parent's pid_ns.

Fixing up sysctl (trivial akin to ipc version, but
potentially tedious to get right for all CONFIG*
combinations) is left for later.

Changelog[v2]:
	- Port to newer kernel
	- Make pid_max a local variable in alloc_pidmap() to simplify code/patch
