IOW, we add the additional "user_namespace *" member/argument, and use
it along with uid/euid.
I am not really sure, but can't we simplify this?

Can't we add "const struct cred *disc_cred" and kill disc_uid/disc_euid
instead?
Then we redefine kill_pid_info_as_uid() as kill_pid_info_as_cred(...cred...),
it can use cred->cred->uid/euid directly.
devio.c does get_cred/put_cred instead of get_user_ns/put_user_ns.
What do you think?
Oleg.
