[v2.6.34-stable 073/165] USB: pid_ns: ensure pid is not freed during kill_pid_info_as_uid

-------------------
This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release.
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/paulg/longterm-queue-2.6.34.git
If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.
-------------------

commit aec01c5895051849ed842dc5b8794017a7751f28 upstream.

Alan Stern points out that after spin_unlock(&ps->lock) there is no
guarantee that ps->pid won't be freed. Since kill_pid_info_as_uid() is
called after the spin_unlock(), the pid passed to it must be pinned.
