[GIT PULL 13/12 for v7.0] kernel misc

[Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org>]

Hey Linus,

as announced in [1] this is one of pull requests that was delayed.

/* Summary */

- pid: introduce task_ppid_vnr() helper

- Revert "pid: make __task_pid_nr_ns(ns => NULL) safe for zombie callers"

- ipc: Add SPDX license id to mqueue.c

- pidfs: convert rb-tree to rhashtable

  Mateusz reported performance penalties during task creation because
  pidfs uses pidmap_lock to add elements into the rbtree. Switch to an
  rhashtable to have separate fine-grained locking and to decouple from
  pidmap_lock moving all heavy manipulations outside of it.

  Also move inode allocation outside of pidmap_lock. With this there's
  nothing happening for pidfs under pidmap_lock.

- pid: reorder fields in pid_namespace to reduce false sharing
