Subject: Move alloc_pid call to copy_process

From: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <sukadev at us.ibm.com>

Move alloc_pid() into copy_process(). This will keep all pid and pid
namespace code together and simplify error handling when we support
multiple pid namespaces.

Changelog: 
	- [Eric Biederman] Move the check of copy_process_type to alloc_pid()/
	  free_pid() and to avoid clutter in copy_process().
