[PATCH 2/4] - v2 - Provide a new procfs interface to set next upid nr(s)

[PATCH 02/04]

This patch proposes the procfs facilities needed to feed the id(s) for the
next task to be forked.

say n is the number of pids to be provided through procfs:

if an
echo "LONG<n> X0 X1 ... X<n-1>" > /proc/self/task/<tid>/next_id
is issued, the next task to be forked will have its upid nrs set as follows
(say it is forked in a pid ns of level L):

level         upid nr
L ----------> X0
..
L - i ------> Xi
..
L - n + 1 --> X<n-1>

Then, for levels L-n down to level 0, the pids will be left to the kernel
choice.
