Subject: [PATCH 05/12] pid: get pid_t of task in init_pid_ns correctly

Added the functions
        task_pid_nr_init_ns()
        task_tgid_nr_init_ns()
to avoid the use of the error-prone duplicity of task->pid and task->tgid,
avoid changing the existing usage of task_pid_nr() and task_tgid_nr() while it
gets converted away from task->pid and task->tgid, and provide a clear
abstraction of the frequently used init_pid_ns in task_pid_nr_ns() and
task_tgid_nr_ns().
Also added pid_nr_init_ns() to explicitly use init_pid_ns.
