proc: add nsfd mount option to allow mounting for pid namespaces other than the current

From: Stephen Mell <sub.atomic.fusion@xxxxxxxxx>

Currently, there is no userspace method to mount proc for a pid namespace other than the current one. In light of the new namespace filedescriptors, this patch adds a mount option to use the namespace represented by the specified filedescriptor instead of the current pid namespace. This patch depends on "proc: move proc mount options out of pid_namespace".
