Subject[PATCH 12/16] Reference counting of pid naspaces by pids
Getting and putting the pid namespace in alloc_pid() and
free_pid() is too slow. Instead this I get/put the namespace
by the pidmaps. When the pidmap allocates its first pid the
namespace is get, when the pidmap becomes empty - the namespace
is put.

Although pids may live longer than their "fingerpints" in the
pidmaps, this is ok to release the namespace with not yet freed
struct pids, as this pid is not alive and no routines will
use it.
