Adhemerval Zanella Netto e7190fc73d linux: Add pidfd_getpid
This interface allows to obtain the associated process ID from the
process file descriptor.  It is done by parsing the procps fdinfo
information.  Its prototype is:

   pid_t pidfd_getpid (int fd)

It returns the associated pid or -1 in case of an error and sets the
errno accordingly.  The possible errno values are those from open, read,
and close (used on procps parsing), along with:

   - EBADF if the FD is negative, does not have a PID associated, or if
     the fdinfo fields contain a value larger than pid_t.

   - EREMOTE if the PID is in a separate namespace.

   - ESRCH if the process is already terminated.

Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu on Linux 4.15 (no CLONE_PIDFD or waitid
support), Linux 5.4 (full support), and Linux 6.2.
