If it has to be a separate helper then please make it:

static inline void print_pidfd_nspid(struct seq_file *m, struct pid_namespace *ns, struct pid *pid)
{
#ifdef CONFIG_PID_NS
int i;

seq_puts(m, "\nNSpid:");
for (i = ns->level; i <= pid->level; i++) {
ns = pid->numbers[i].ns;
seq_put_decimal_ull(m, "\t", pid_nr_ns(pid, ns));
}
#endif
}

It's called nowhere else and we've already retrieved the pid_namespace
in pidfd_show_fdinfo().
