        // `PidNamespace` after `release_task()` for current will return `NULL` but no codepath
        // like that is exposed to Rust.
        //
        // Retrieving the `PidNamespace` from system call context for (2) requires RCU protection.
        // Accessing `PidNamespace` outside of RCU protection requires a reference count that
        // must've been acquired while holding the RCU lock. Note that accessing a non-`current`
        // task means `NULL` can be returned as the non-`current` task could have already passed
        // through `release_task()`.
        //
        // To retrieve (1) the `current_pid_ns!()` macro should be used which ensure that the
        // returned `PidNamespace` cannot outlive the calling scope. The associated
        // `current_pid_ns()` function should not be called directly as it could be abused to
        // created an unbounded lifetime for `PidNamespace`. The `current_pid_ns!()` macro allows
        // Rust to handle the common case of accessing `current`'s `PidNamespace` without RCU
        // protection and without having to acquire a reference count.
        //
        // For (2) the `task_get_pid_ns()` method must be used. This will always acquire a
        // reference on `PidNamespace` and will return an `Option` to force the caller to
        // explicitly handle the case where `PidNamespace` is `None`, something that tends to be
        // forgotten when doing the equivalent operation in `C`. Missing RCU primitives make it
        // difficult to perform operations that are otherwise safe without holding a reference
        // count as long as RCU protection is guaranteed. But it is not important currently. But we
        // do want it in the future.
        //
        // Note for (2) the required RCU protection around calling `task_active_pid_ns()`
        // synchronizes against putting the last reference of the associated `struct pid` of
        // `task->thread_pid`. The `struct pid` stored in that field is used to retrieve the
        // `PidNamespace` of the caller. When `release_task()` is called `task->thread_pid` will be
        // `NULL`ed and `put_pid()` on said `struct pid` will be delayed in `free_pid()` via
