[Devel] [PATCH 3/28] [PREP 3/14] Helpers to find the task by its numerical ids

[Pavel Emelianov]

When searching the task by numerical id on may need to find
it using global pid (as it is done now in kernel) or by its
virtual id, e.g. when sending a signal to a task from one
namespace the sender will specify the task's virtual id.
