alloc_pidmap() advances pid_namespace::last_pid. When first pid
allocation fails, then next created process will have pid 2 and
pid_ns_prepare_proc() won't be called. So, pid_namespace::proc_mnt will
never be initialized (not to mention that there won't be a child
reaper).
I saw crash stack of such case on kernel 3.10:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)
IP: proc_flush_task+0x8f/0x1b0
Call Trace:
release_task+0x3f/0x490
wait_consider_task.part.10+0x7ff/0xb00
do_wait+0x11f/0x280
SyS_wait4+0x7d/0x110
We may fix this by restore of last_pid in 0 or by prohibiting of futher
allocations. Since there was a similar issue in Oleg Nesterov's commit
314a8ad0f1 ("pidns: fix free_pid() to handle the first fork failure").
and it was fixed via prohibiting allocation, let's follow this way, and
do the same.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
