pid namespaces: dynamic kmem cache allocator for pid namespaces
Add kmem_cache to pid_namespace to allocate pids from. Since both implementations expand the struct pid to carry more numerical values each namespace should have separate cache to store pids of different sizes. Each kmem cache is name "pid_<NR>", where <NR> is the number of numerical ids on the pid. Different namespaces with same level of nesting will have same caches. This patch has two FIXMEs that are to be fixed after we reach the consensus about the struct pid itself. The first one is that the namespace to free the pid from in free_pid() must be taken from pid. Now the init_pid_ns is used. The second FIXME is about the cache allocation. When we do know how long the object will be then we'll have to calculate this size in create_pid_cachep. Right now the sizeof(struct pid) value is used.
