Can we give these some better names? I think "virtual" is pretty bad,
especially if you consider the multiple level of pid namespaces that we
might have some day. Processes can belong to multiple pid namespaces,
and thus have multiple "virtual" ids.

Even though it will make the names longer, I think we need something in
the names to say that "pid_nr()" is the top-level, global, init_pid_ns
number. "pid_vnr()" is the pid for the lowest pid namespace in the
hierarchy. Suka called this an "active pid namespace" because that is
where the task actively interacts with its peers. But, I'm open to
other suggestions, too.

When writing code, people are going to need to know which one to use:
pid_nr() or pid_vnr(). We can document the functions, but the names
will help much more than any documentation.
