Hi,
I've sent two patches fixing new failures in the rewritten 
kernel/containers tests. The failures are caused by getpid() return 
value being cached in older glibc versions because child processes 
created by SAFE_CLONE() cannot update the PID cache. Thus getpid() will 
keep returning the parent PID instead of the correct one. Newer glibc 
versions are not affected.

The patches:
- Add tst_getpid() helper function
- containers/pidns*: Fix PID checks

Please merge them before release.
