For correct checkpointing/restoring of a task from userspace
it's need to know the task's pid_ns_for_children. Currently,
there is no a sane way to do that (the only possible trick
is to force the task create a new child and to analize the
child's /proc/[pid]/ns/pid link, that is performance-stupid).
The patch 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]
