pidns: remove recursion from free_pid_ns()
free_pid_ns() operates in a recursive fashion:
free_pid_ns(parent)
put_pid_ns(parent)
kref_put(&ns->kref, free_pid_ns);
free_pid_ns
thus if there was a huge nesting of namespaces the userspace may trigger
avalanche calling of free_pid_ns leading to kernel stack exhausting and a
panic eventually.
This patch turns the recursion into an iterative loop.
Based on a patch by Andrew Vagin.
