[PATCH 1/5] pid: add new iterative macros to list processes in a namespace

From: Gowrishankar M <gomuthuk at linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Below patch addresses a common solution for any place where a process
should be checked if it is associated to caller namespace. At present,
we use 'task_pid_vnr(t) > 0' to further proceed with task 't' in current
namespace.

To avoid applying this check in every userspace code related to PID namespace,
this patch provides two new iterative macros;for_each_process_in_ns and
do_each_thread_in_ns.
