cgroups: fix pid namespace bug

The bug was introduced by commit cc31edceee04a7b87f2be48f9489ebb72d264844
("cgroups: convert tasks file to use a seq_file with shared pid array").

We cache a pid array for all threads that are opening the same "tasks"
file, but the pids in the array are always from the namespace of the
last process that opened the file, so all other threads will read pids
from that namespace instead of their own namespaces.

To fix it, we maintain a list of pid arrays, which is keyed by pid_ns.
The list will be of length 1 at most time.
