Subject: [PATCH] pid: Add the judgment of whether ns is NULL in the find_pid_ns

There is no the judgment of whether namspace is NULL in find_pid_ns.
But there is a corner case when ns is null, for example: if user
call find_get_pid when current is in exiting, the following stack would
set thread_id be null:
release_task
    __exit_signal(p);
        __unhash_process(tsk, group_dead);
              detach_pid(p, PIDTYPE_PID);
                  __change_pid(task, type, NULL);

If user call find_get_pid at now, in find_vpid function, the
task_active_pid_ns would return NULL. As a result, it would be
error when access the ns in find_pid_ns.

So add the judgment of whether ns is NULL in the find_pid_ns to
prevent this case happen.
