pid-namespace: limit value of ns_last_pid to (0, max_pid)

The kernel doesn't check the pid for negative values, so if you try to
write -2 to /proc/sys/kernel/ns_last_pid, you will get a kernel panic.

The crash happens because the next pid is -1, and alloc_pidmap() will try
to access to a nonexistent pidmap.

map = &pid_ns->pidmap[pid/BITS_PER_PAGE];
