Subject: [PATCH 2/2] exit: pidns: alloc_pid() leaks pid_namespace if
	child_reaper is exiting

alloc_pid() does get_pid_ns() beforehand but forgets to put_pid_ns()
if it fails because disable_pid_allocation() was called by the exiting
child_reaper. We can move get_pid_ns() down to successful return.

While at it, simplify/cleanup the "goto out" mess, no need to confuse
the success/error return paths.
