task_active_pid_ns() by newly created task, not the current! That's why
we need to pass something to alloc_pid() to find this new namespace.
Task or namespace itself - is the matter of choice - I selected the
most obvious argument :)

Parent is added in another patch - 12/15. I will split it better
when sending to Andrew - patches will be smaller and bisect-safe.

It is :)

I think you're right.

Yes. This set is not well split, sorry. I wanted to get comments about the
approach, bugs, etc (I have already mentioned this in another letter...)
