pidns: make pid->level and pid_ns->level unsigned

These values represent the nesting level of a namespace and pids living in it,
and it's always non-negative.

Turning this from int to unsigned int saves some space in pid.c (11 bytes on
x86 and 64 on ia64) by letting the compiler optimize the pid_nr_ns a bit.
E.g.  on ia64 this removes the sign extension calls, which compiler adds to
optimize access to pid->nubers[ns->level].
