[PATCH F-14] bz#573210: ptrace-utrace: fix PTRACE_GETEVENTMSG(pid) in LXC

ptrace_report_clone() uses child->pid, this is obviously wrong unless
the tracer is from the global namespace. Change it to use task_pid_vnr().

This is still not right, we should use the tracer's namespace, not
parent's. But this matches upstream, and at least this works if they
are from the same namespace.
