pidns: guarantee that the pidns init will be the last pidns process reaped
Today we have a twofold bug. Sometimes release_task on pid == 1 in a pid namespace can run before other processes in a pid namespace have had release task called. With the result that pid_ns_release_proc can be called before the last proc_flus_task() is done using upid->ns->proc_mnt, resulting in the use of a stale pointer. This same set of circumstances can lead to waitpid(...) returning for a processes started with clone(CLONE_NEWPID) before the every process in the pid namespace has actually exited. To fix this modify zap_pid_ns_processess wait until all other processes in the pid namespace have exited, even EXIT_DEAD zombies. The delay_group_leader and related tests ensure that the thread gruop leader will be the last thread of a process group to be reaped, or to become EXIT_DEAD and self reap. With the change to zap_pid_ns_processes we get the guarantee that pid == 1 in a pid namespace will be the last task that release_task is called on. With pid == 1 being the last task to pass through release_task pid_ns_release_proc can no longer be called too early nor can wait return before all of the EXIT_DEAD tasks in a pid namespace have exited.
