I wonder whether we should also have a pidns restriction here, since
currently it isn't possible for a container process using a pidns to
signal processes outside its pidns. AFAICS, this isn't done through an
explicit check -- it's a side-effect of processes in a pidns not being
able to address non-descendant-pidns processes.
But maybe it's reasonable to allow sending a procfd to a different pidns
and the same operations working on it? If we extend the procfd API to
allow process creation this would allow a container to create a process
outside its pidns.
