This needs to be shared to make the test case make sense.

The change below looks reasonable.  Unfortunately because copy_thread
comes before init_task_pid task_active_pid_ns(p) will not work
correctly.

The code below needs to use current->nsproxy->pid_ns_for_children
instead of task_active_pid_ns(p).

For sparc people.  Do we know of anyone who actually uses the parent pid
returned from fork to the child process?  If not the code can simply
return 0 and we don't have to do this.
