pidfs: implement file handle support
On 64-bit platforms, userspace can read the pidfd's inode in order to
get a never-repeated PID identifier. On 32-bit platforms this identifier
is not exposed, as inodes are limited to 32 bits. Instead expose the
identifier via export_fh, which makes it available to userspace via
name_to_handle_at.
In addition we implement fh_to_dentry, which allows userspace to
recover a pidfd from a pidfs file handle.
