[Devel] [PATCH 4/5] pid: use namespaced iteration on processes while sending signal to all

[Gowrishankar M]

From: Gowrishankar M <gomuthuk at linux.vnet.ibm.com>

At present we scan all processes in init namespace, whether in new namespace
or not, to send signal to all processes for container. Also we filter out
processes belonging to same namespace using task_pid_vnr().

Below patch proposes to use new macro controller to save time using pidmap.
In init namespace, this saving can be more or less achieved, as we check to
take every process with task_pid_vnr() otherwise.
