Subject: [PATCH] pid_ns: Fix race between setns'ed fork() and
 zap_pid_ns_processes()

Imagine we have a pid namespace and a task from its parent's pid_ns,
which made setns() to the pid namespace. The task is doing fork(),
while the pid namespace's child reaper is dying. We have the race
between them:

Task from parent pid_ns             Child reaper
copy_process()                      ..
  alloc_pid()                       ..
  ..                                zap_pid_ns_processes()
  ..                                  disable_pid_allocation()
  ..                                  read_lock(&tasklist_lock)
  ..                                  iterate over pids in pid_ns
  ..                                    kill tasks linked to pids
  ..                                  read_unlock(&tasklist_lock)
  write_lock_irq(&tasklist_lock);   ..
  attach_pid(p, PIDTYPE_PID);       ..
  ..                                ..

So, just created task p won't receive SIGKILL signal,
and the pid namespace will be in contradictory state.
Only manual kill will help there, but does the userspace
care about this? I suppose, the most users just inject
a task into a pid namespace and wait a SIGCHLD from it.

The patch fixes the problem. It moves disable_pid_allocation()
into find_child_reaper() where tasklist_lock is held,
and this allows to simply check for (pid_ns->nr_hashed & PIDNS_HASH_ADDING)
in copy_process(). If allocation is disabled, we just
return -ENOMEM like it's made for such cases in alloc_pid().
