Pull pid_namespace updates from Christian Brauner:

 - pid_namespace: make init creation more flexible

   Annotate ->child_reaper accesses with {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() to protect
   the unlocked readers from cpu/compiler reordering, and enforce that
   pid 1 in a pid namespace is always the first allocated pid (the
   set_tid path already required this).

   On top of that, allow opening pid_for_children before the pid
   namespace init has been created. This lets one process create the pid
   namespace and a different process create the init via setns(), which
   makes clone3(set_tid) usable in all cases evenly and is particularly
   useful to CRIU when restoring nested containers.

   A new selftest covers both the basic create-pidns-then-init flow and
   the cross-process variant, and a MAINTAINERS entry for the pid
   namespace code is added.

 - unrelated signal cleanup: update outdated comment for the removed
   freezable_schedule()
