RFC [patch 19/34] PID Virtualization Define pid_to_vpid functions

[Serge Hallyn <serue@us.ibm.com>]

In this patch we introduce convertion functions to 
translate pids into virtual pids. These are just the APIs
not the implementation yet.
Subsequent patches will utilize these internal functions
to rewrite the task virtual pid/ppid/tgid access functions
such that finally we only have to rewrite these virtual
conversion functions to actually obtain the pid virtualization.
