#1236751 — [RFC 2/4] pid_namespace: remove .kref field for !CONFIG_PID_NS

When there's only one global pid_namespace (init_pid_ns), the kref
field is unused (since both get_pid_ns and put_pid_ns are
no-ops). While we only save a few bytes by removing it, it could also
help catch users manipulating ->kref directly.
