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
Fixes: cdda1f2 ("pidfd: add ioctl to retrieve pid info")
