Could we blow this out a little bit?  (I think the blown-out version
lends itself to being better commented, and easier to read.)  Also, can
we think of any better name for this?  It seems a bit funky that:

	pid_in_pid_ns(mypid, &init_pid_ns);

would _ever_ return 0.  So, it isn't truly a test for belonging *in* a
namespace, but having that namespace be the lowest level one.  I think
Suka toyed with calling it an "active" or "primary" pid namespace.  That
differentiated mere membership in a pid namespace from the one that
actually molds that pid's view of the world.

static int pid_in_pid_ns(struct pid *pid, struct pid_namespace *ns)
{
	if (!pid)
		return 0;
	if (ns->level > pid->level)
		return 0;
	if (pid->numbers[ns->level].ns != ns)
		return 0;
	return 1;
}
