Subject[PATCH v2 -mm 1/1] pidns: find_new_reaper() can no longer switch to init_pid_ns.child_reaper
find_new_reaper() changes pid_ns->child_reaper, see add0d4df
"pid_ns: zap_pid_ns_processes: fix the ->child_reaper changing".

The original reason has gone away after the previous patch,
->children list must be empty after zap_pid_ns_processes().

However now we can not switch to init_pid_ns.child_reaper.
__unhash_process() relies on the "->child_reaper == parent"
check, but this check does not work if the last exiting task
is also the child reaper.

As Eric sugested, we can change __unhash_process() to use the
parent's pid_ns and remove this code.

Also, with this change we can move detach_pid(PIDTYPE_PID) back,
where it was before the previous fix.
