What use case do you have in mind for bpf_get_current_pid_tgid() +
bpf_descendant_of()? Most of the cases the former won't be necessary as
the latter is alredy fetching the pid of the process in the current
context, but maybe I'm missing something! :)
Not sure about the last part, sorry, are you referring that we should
maybe mention that the descendant check is performed within a pid namespace
and does not cross pid namespaces?
