kernel/pid.c: remove static qualifier from pidfd_create()

With the idea of returning pidfds from the fanotify API, we need to
expose a mechanism for creating pidfds. We drop the static qualifier
from pidfd_create() and add its declaration to linux/pid.h so that the
pidfd_create() helper can be called from other kernel subsystems
i.e. fanotify.
