[ Upstream commit b9a985db98961ae1ba0be169f19df1c567e4ffe0 ]

The code can potentially sleep for an indefinite amount of time in
zap_pid_ns_processes triggering the hung task timeout, and increasing
the system average.  This is undesirable.  Sleep with a task state of
TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE instead of TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE to remove these
undesirable side effects.

Apparently under heavy load this has been allowing Chrome to trigger
the hung time task timeout error and cause ChromeOS to reboot.

<title>exit: pidns: fix/update the comments in zap_pid_ns_processes()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:a53b831549141aa060a8b54b76e3a42870d74cc0</id>
<content type='text'>
The comments in zap_pid_ns_processes() are not clear, we need to explain
how this code actually works.

1. "Ignore SIGCHLD" looks like optimization but it is not, we also
   need this for correctness.

2. The comment above sys_wait4() could tell more.

   EXIT_ZOMBIE child is only possible if it has exited before we
   ignored SIGCHLD. Or if it is traced from the parent namespace,
   but in this case it will be reaped by debugger after detach,
   sys_wait4() acts as a synchronization point.

3. The comment about TASK_DEAD (EXIT_DEAD in fact) children is
   outdated. Contrary to what it says we do not need to make sure
   they all go away after 0a01f2cc390e "pidns: Make the pidns proc
   mount/umount logic obvious".

   At the same time, we do need to wait for nr_hashed==init_pids,
   but the reasons are quite different and not obvious: setns().

We can do that now.  And kill -&gt;inum(), while we are at it - all instances
are identical.

pidns_get()-&gt;get_pid_ns() can hit ns == NULL. This task_struct can't
go away, but task_active_pid_ns(task) is NULL if release_task(task)
was already called. Alternatively we could change get_pid_ns(ns) to
check ns != NULL, but it seems that other callers are fine.
