[PATCH v2] ns: introduce getnspid syscall

We need a direct method of getting the pid inside containers.
If some issues occurred inside container guest, host user
could not know which process is in trouble just by guest pid:
the users of container guest only knew the pid inside containers.
This will bring obstacle for trouble shooting.

int getnspid(pid_t pid, int fd1, int fd2);

pid: the pid number need to be translated.

fd: a file descriptor referring to one of
    the namespace entries in a /proc/[pid]/ns/pid.
    fd1 for destination ns(ns1), where the pid came from.
    fd2 for reference ns(ns2), while fd2 = -2 means for current ns.

return value:
    >0 : translated pid in ns1(fd1) seen from ns2(fd2).
    <=0: on failure.

v2: drop pidtype
    check ns_ops before getting pid_namespace structure
