pidns: fix free_pid() to handle the first fork failure
"case 0" in free_pid() assumes that disable_pid_allocation() should clear PIDNS_HASH_ADDING before the last pid goes away. However this doesn't happen if the first fork() fails to create the child reaper which should call disable_pid_allocation(). Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: "Eric W.
