    pidfs: never refuse ppid == 0 in PIDFD_GET_INFO

    In systemd we spotted an issue after switching to ioctl(PIDFD_GET_INFO)
    for obtaining pid number the pidfd refers to, that for processes
    with a parent from outer pidns PIDFD_GET_INFO unexpectedly yields
    -ESRCH [1]. It turned out that there's an arbitrary check blocking
    this, which is not really sensible given getppid() happily returns
    0 for such processes. Just drop the spurious check and userspace
    ought to handle ppid == 0 properly everywhere.

    [1] systemd/systemd#37715
