pidns: Deny strange cases when creating pid namespaces.

task_active_pid_ns(current) != current->ns_proxy->pid_ns will
soon be allowed to support unshare and setns.

The definition of creating a child pid namespace when
task_active_pid_ns(current) != current->ns_proxy->pid_ns could be that
we create a child pid namespace of current->ns_proxy->pid_ns.  However
that leads to strange cases like trying to have a single process be
init in multiple pid namespaces, which is racy and hard to think
about.

The definition of creating a child pid namespace when
task_active_pid_ns(current) != current->ns_proxy->pid_ns could be that
we create a child pid namespace of task_active_pid_ns(current).  While
that seems less racy it does not provide any utility.

Therefore define the semantics of creating a child pid namespace when
task_active_pid_ns(current) != current->ns_proxy->pid_ns to be that the
pid namespace creation fails.  That is easy to implement and easy
to think about.
