pidns: remove recursion from free_pid_ns()

Browse source 
free_pid_ns() operates in a recursive fashion:

free_pid_ns(parent)
  put_pid_ns(parent)
    kref_put(&ns->kref, free_pid_ns);
      free_pid_ns

thus if there was a huge nesting of namespaces the userspace may trigger
avalanche calling of free_pid_ns leading to kernel stack exhausting and a
panic eventually.

This patch turns the recursion into an iterative loop.

Based on a patch by Andrew Vagin.
