pid_ns_for_children set by a task is known only to the task itself,
and it's impossible to identify it from outside.
It's a big problem for checkpoint/restore software like CRIU,
because it can't correctly handle tasks, that do setns(CLONE_NEWPID)
in proccess of their work.
This patch solves the problem, and it exposes pid_ns_for_children
to ns directory in standard way with the name "pid_for_children":
~# ls /proc/5531/ns -l | grep pid
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jan 14 16:38 pid -> pid:[4026531836]
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jan 14 16:38 pid_for_children -> pid:[4026532286]
v2: Do not allow to get namespace if there is no child reaper created,
as other tasks need initializations it did (e.g., pid_namespace::proc_mnt),
and we don't want they race.
