'struct pid' is a "variable sized struct" - a header with an array of
upids at the end.

The size of the array depends on a level (depth) of pid namespaces.  Now a
level of pidns is not limited, so 'struct pid' can be more than one page.

Looks reasonable, that it should be less than a page.  MAX_PIS_NS_LEVEL is
not calculated from PAGE_SIZE, because in this case it depends on
architectures, config options and it will be reduced, if someone adds a
new fields in struct pid or struct upid.

I suggest to set MAX_PIS_NS_LEVEL = 32, because it saves ability to expand
"struct pid" and it's more than enough for all known for me use-cases.
When someone finds a reasonable use case, we can add a config option or a
sysctl parameter.

In addition it will reduce the effect of another problem, when we have
many nested namespaces and the oldest one starts dying.
zap_pid_ns_processe will be called for each namespace and find_vpid will
be called for each process in a namespace.  find_vpid will be called
minimum max_level^2 / 2 times.  The reason of that is that when we found a
bit in pidmap, we can't determine this pidns is top for this process or it
isn't.

vpid is a heavy operation, so a fork bomb, which create many nested
namespace, can make a system inaccessible for a long time.  For example my
system becomes inaccessible for a few minutes with 4000 processes.
