pidfs: register pid in pidfs

Add simple helpers that allow a struct pid to be pinned via a pidfs
dentry/inode. If no pidfs dentry exists a new one will be allocated for
it. A reference is taken by pidfs on @pid. The reference must be
released via pidfs_put_pid().

This will allow AF_UNIX sockets to allocate a dentry for the peer
credentials pid at the time they are recorded where we know the task is
still alive. When the task gets reaped its exit status is guaranteed to
be recorded and a pidfd can be handed out for the reaped task.
