Currently the kernel uses open code in multiple places to check if a
task is in the root PID namespace with the kind of format:

  if (task_active_pid_ns(current) == &init_pid_ns)
      do_something();

This patch creates a new helper function, task_is_in_root_ns(), it
returns true if a passed task is in the root PID namespace, otherwise
returns false.  So it will be used to replace open codes.

It is bad that this name doesn't reflect PID nature of this namespace.
Won't it better to name it task_is_in_init_pid_ns()?

Thanks
