[PATCH 3.14 47/52] exit: pidns: alloc_pid() leaks pid_namespace if child_reaper is exiting

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 24c037ebf5723d4d9ab0996433cee4f96c292a4d upstream.

alloc_pid() does get_pid_ns() beforehand but forgets to put_pid_ns() if it
fails because disable_pid_allocation() was called by the exiting
child_reaper.

We could simply move get_pid_ns() down to successful return, but this fix
tries to be as trivial as possible.
