Christian Brauner 5b08bd4085 pidfs: allow retrieval of namespace file descriptors ...

For users that hold a reference to a pidfd procfs might not even be
available nor is it desirable to parse through procfs just for the sake
of getting namespace file descriptors for a process.

Make it possible to directly retrieve namespace file descriptors from a
pidfd. Pidfds already can be used with setns() to change a set of
namespaces atomically.
