[Devel] [PATCH 4/6] Use pid_to_nr() in process info functions

Subject: [PATCH 4/6] Use pid_to_nr() in process info functions

From: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <sukadev at us.ibm.com>

Use pid_to_nr() function in getppid(), getpgid() and getsid() functions
so they return the correct pid_t for processes in multiple pid namespaces.

Note: We don't need pid_to_nr() in getpid() because the process always
     "sees itself" as being in its active pid namespace. Using pid_to_nr()
     in getpid() would unnecessarily hurt its performance.
