Merge branch 'bpf_get_ns_current_pid_tgid'

Carlos Neira says:

====================
Currently bpf_get_current_pid_tgid(), is used to do pid filtering in bcc's
scripts but this helper returns the pid as seen by the root namespace which is
fine when a bcc script is not executed inside a container.
When the process of interest is inside a container, pid filtering will not work
if bpf_get_current_pid_tgid() is used.
This helper addresses this limitation returning the pid as it's seen by the current
namespace where the script is executing.

In the future different pid_ns files may belong to different devices, according to the
discussion between Eric Biederman and Yonghong in 2017 Linux plumbers conference.
To address that situation the helper requires inum and dev_t from /proc/self/ns/pid.
This helper has the same use cases as bpf_get_current_pid_tgid() as it can be
used to do pid filtering even inside a container.
