[Devel] [PATCH 9/15] Move alloc_pid() after the namespace is cloned

When we create new namespace we will need to allocate the struct pid,
that will have one extra struct upid in array, comparing to the parent.
Thus we need to know the new namespace (if any) in alloc_pid() to init
this struct upid properly, so move the alloc_pid() call lower in
copy_process().

This is a fix for Sukadev's patch that moved the alloc_pid() call from
do_fork() into copy_process().
