userns,pidns: Verify the userns for new pid namespaces
It is pointless and confusing to allow a pid namespace hierarchy and
the user namespace hierarchy to get out of sync. The owner of a child
pid namespace should be the owner of the parent pid namespace or
a descendant of the owner of the parent pid namespace.
Otherwise it is possible to construct scenarios where a process has a
capability over a parent pid namespace but does not have the
capability over a child pid namespace. Which confusingly makes
permission checks non-transitive.
It requires use of setns into a pid namespace (but not into a user
namespace) to create such a scenario.
Add the function in_userns to help in making this determination.
v2: Optimized in_userns by using level as suggested
