alloc_pid() does get_pid_ns() beforehand but forgets to put_pid_ns() if it fails because disable_pid_allocation() was called by the exiting child_reaper. We can move get_pid_ns() down to successful return.
While at it, simplify/cleanup the "goto out" mess, no need to confuse the success/error return paths.
