Ben Segall 8639b46139 pidns: fix set/getpriority and ioprio_set/get in PRIO_USER mode
setpriority(PRIO_USER, 0, x) will change the priority of tasks outside of
the current pid namespace.  This is in contrast to both the other modes of
setpriority and the example of kill(-1).  Fix this.  getpriority and
ioprio have the same failure mode, fix them too.

Eric said:

: After some more thinking about it this patch sounds justifiable.
:
: My goal with namespaces is not to build perfect isolation mechanisms
: as that can get into ill defined territory, but to build well defined
: mechanisms.  And to handle the corner cases so you can use only
: a single namespace with well defined results.
:
: In this case you have found the two interfaces I am aware of that
: identify processes by uid instead of by pid.  Which quite frankly is
: weird.  Unfortunately the weird unexpected cases are hard to handle
: in the usual way.
:
: I was hoping for a little more information.  Changes like this one we
: have to be careful of because someone might be depending on the current
: behavior.  I don't think they are and I do think this make sense as part
: of the pid namespace.
