Subject: [PATCH V2 4/6] ARM: Make PID_IN_CONTEXTIDR incompatible with PID_NS

When using namespaces, different processes can have the same PID.
It makes no sense to store a PID value in the Context ID register
to track a specific process, when others share the same value.

Consequently, PID_IN_CONTEXTIDR (which is used for tracing and
debugging processes) should not be compatible with PID_NS.
