[PATCH] kernel: limit a value of ns_last_pid to (0, max_pid)

[Andrew Vagin]

The kernel doesn't check pid on a negative values, so if
you would try to write -2 in /proc/sys/kernel/ns_last_pid,
you will get a kernel panic.

In this case the next pid is -1, and alloc_pidmap will try to access
to a nonexistent pidmap.

map = &pid_ns->pidmap[pid/BITS_PER_PAGE];
