[PATCH 3/3] pids: Make it possible to clone tasks with given pids

[Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@parallels.com>]

When restoring a task (or a set of tasks) we need to recreate them
with exactly the same pid(s) as they had before. Thus we need the
ability to create a task with specified pid. The proposal is to reuse
the already free CLONE_STOPPED clone flag, introduce the new one
called CLONE_CHILD_USEPIDS and point to the desired pids with the
child_tidptr.

The child_tidptr points to an array of pids for current namespace and
its ancestors. When 0 is met in this array the pid number for the
corresponding namespace is generated, rather than set.

For security reasons after a regular clone/fork is done in a namespace
further cloning with predefined pid is not allowed.
