Not sure we actually want ifdef(CONFIG_PID_NS). If this is just optimization
I'd suggest to simply add

	if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PID_NS))
		return pid;

at the start.

But. Either way this unconditional "return pid" doesn't look right imho.
I think we should return -ESRCH if this pid number is not valid to ensure
we have the same semantics with-or-without CONFIG_PID_NS. So it seems that
you should remove this ifdef, this will also ensure that we return -ESRCH
if (say) source != 0 and find_pid_ns(source) fails.
