This helper obtains the active namespace from current and returns pid, tgid,
device and namespace id as seen from that namespace, allowing to instrument
a process inside a container.
Device is read from /proc/self/ns/pid, as in the future it's possible that
different pid_ns files may belong to different devices, according
to the discussion between Eric Biederman and Yonghong in 2017 linux plumbers
conference.
Currently bpf_get_current_pid_tgid(), is used to do pid filtering in bcc's
scripts but this helper returns the pid as seen by the root namespace which is
fine when a bcc script is not executed inside a container.
When the process of interest is inside a container, pid filtering will not work
if bpf_get_current_pid_tgid() is used. This helper addresses this limitation
returning the pid as it's seen by the current namespace where the script is
executing.

This helper has the same use cases as bpf_get_current_pid_tgid() as it can be
used to do pid filtering even inside a container.

For example a bcc script using bpf_get_current_pid_tgid() (tools/funccount.py):

        u32 pid = bpf_get_current_pid_tgid() >> 32;
        if (pid != <pid_arg_passed_in>)
                return 0;
Could be modified to use bpf_get_current_pidns_info() as follows:

        struct bpf_pidns pidns;
        bpf_get_current_pidns_info(&pidns, sizeof(struct bpf_pidns));
        u32 pid = pidns.tgid;
        u32 nsid = pidns.nsid;
        if ((pid != <pid_arg_passed_in>) && (nsid != <nsid_arg_passed_in>))
                return 0;

To find out the name PID namespace id of a process, you could use this command:

$ ps -h -o pidns -p <pid_of_interest>

Or this other command:

$ ls -Li /proc/<pid_of_interest>/ns/pid

Changes from v9 :
Removed samples/bpf in favor of tools/testing/selftests/bpf
Fixed bug when bpf helper is called in an interrupt context.
Code style fixes.
Added more comments on bpf helper struct member.
