[PATCH 2/2] autofs4: translate pids to the right namespace for the daemon

[Miklos Szeredi]

From: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@xxxxxxx>

The PID and the TGID of the process tringgering the mount are sent to the
daemon.  Currently the global pid values are sent (ones valid in the initial pid
namespace) but this is wrong if the autofs daemon itself is not running in the
initial pid namespace.

So send the pid values that are valid in the namespace of the autofs daemon.

The namespace to use is taken from the oz_pgrp pid pointer, which was set at
mount time to the mounting process' pid namespace.

If the pid translation fails (the triggering process is in an unrelated pid
namespace) then the automount fails with ENOENT.
