[PATCH v2 1/2] exit: pidns: alloc_pid() leaks pid_namespace if child_reaper is exiting

From: Oleg Nesterov
Date: Wed Nov 26 2014 - 18:54:48 EST


alloc_pid() does get_pid_ns() beforehand but forgets to put_pid_ns()
if it fails because disable_pid_allocation() was called by the exiting
child_reaper.

We could simply move get_pid_ns() down to successful return, but this
fix tries to be as trivial as possible.
