Small nit: Looks good to go, but please add a newline before the new helper
description like all the rest in there.

One more thing that would be helpful is to add a short description here that
this helper can be used in combination with bpf_get_current_pid_tgid(), and
that pid here is representation from init pid namespace if I grok it correctly.
