[PATCH] pidns: make pid->level and pid_ns->level unsigned

[Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org>]

These values represent the nesting level of a namespace and 
pids living in it, and it's always non-negative.

Turning this from int to unsigned int saves some space in 
pid.c (11 bytes on x86 and 64 on ia64) by letting the compiler 
optimize the pid_nr_ns a bit. E.g. on ia64 this removes the 
sign extension calls, which compiler adds to optimize access
to pid->nubers[ns->level].
