Pull pdfd updates from Christian Brauner:

 - Until now pidfds could only be created for thread-group leaders but
   not for threads. There was no technical reason for this. We simply
   had no users that needed support for this. Now we do have users that
   need support for this.

   This introduces a new PIDFD_THREAD flag for pidfd_open(). If that
   flag is set pidfd_open() creates a pidfd that refers to a specific
   thread.

   In addition, we now allow clone() and clone3() to be called with
   CLONE_PIDFD | CLONE_THREAD which wasn't possible before.

   A pidfd that refers to an individual thread differs from a pidfd that
   refers to a thread-group leader:

    (1) Pidfds are pollable. A task may poll a pidfd and get notified
        when the task has exited.

        For thread-group leader pidfds the polling task is woken if the
        thread-group is empty. In other words, if the thread-group
        leader task exits when there are still threads alive in its
        thread-group the polling task will not be woken when the
        thread-group leader exits but rather when the last thread in the
        thread-group exits.

        For thread-specific pidfds the polling task is woken if the
        thread exits.

    (2) Passing a thread-group leader pidfd to pidfd_send_signal() will
        generate thread-group directed signals like kill(2) does.

        Passing a thread-specific pidfd to pidfd_send_signal() will
        generate thread-specific signals like tgkill(2) does.

        The default scope of the signal is thus determined by the type
        of the pidfd.

        Since use-cases exist where the default scope of the provided
        pidfd needs to be overriden the following flags are added to
        pidfd_send_signal():

         - PIDFD_SIGNAL_THREAD
           Send a thread-specific signal.

         - PIDFD_SIGNAL_THREAD_GROUP
           Send a thread-group directed signal.

         - PIDFD_SIGNAL_PROCESS_GROUP
           Send a process-group directed signal.

        The scope change will only work if the struct pid is actually
        used for this scope.

        For example, in order to send a thread-group directed signal the
        provided pidfd must be used as a thread-group leader and
        similarly for PIDFD_SIGNAL_PROCESS_GROUP the struct pid must be
        used as a process group leader.

 - Move pidfds from the anonymous inode infrastructure to a tiny pseudo
   filesystem. This will unblock further work that we weren't able to do
   simply because of the very justified limitations of anonymous inodes.
   Moving pidfds to a tiny pseudo filesystem allows for statx on pidfds
   to become useful for the first time. They can now be compared by
   inode number which are unique for the system lifetime.

   Instead of stashing struct pid in file->private_data we can now stash
   it in inode->i_private. This makes it possible to introduce concepts
   that operate on a process once all file descriptors have been closed.
   A concrete example is kill-on-last-close. Another side-effect is that
   file->private_data is now freed up for per-file options for pidfds.

   Now, each struct pid will refer to a different inode but the same
   struct pid will refer to the same inode if it's opened multiple
   times. In contrast to now where each struct pid refers to the same
   inode.

   The tiny pseudo filesystem is not visible anywhere in userspace
   exactly like e.g., pipefs and sockfs. There's no lookup, there's no
   complex inode operations, nothing. Dentries and inodes are always
   deleted when the last pidfd is closed.

   We allocate a new inode and dentry for each struct pid and we reuse
   that inode and dentry for all pidfds that refer to the same struct
   pid. The code is entirely optional and fairly small. If it's not
   selected we fallback to anonymous inodes. Heavily inspired by nsfs.

   The dentry and inode allocation mechanism is moved into generic
   infrastructure that is now shared between nsfs and pidfs. The
   path_from_stashed() helper must be provided with a stashing location,
   an inode number, a mount, and the private data that is supposed to be
   used and it will provide a path that can be passed to dentry_open().

   The helper will try retrieve an existing dentry from the provided
   stashing location. If a valid dentry is found it is reused. If not a
   new one is allocated and we try to stash it in the provided location.
   If this fails we retry until we either find an existing dentry or the
   newly allocated dentry could be stashed. Subsequent openers of the
   same namespace or task are then able to reuse it.

 - Currently it is only possible to get notified when a task has exited,
   i.e., become a zombie and userspace gets notified with EPOLLIN. We
   now also support waiting until the task has been reaped, notifying
   userspace with EPOLLHUP.

 - Ensure that ESRCH is reported for getfd if a task is exiting instead
   of the confusing EBADF.

 - Various smaller cleanups to pidfd functions.
