[Devel] [PATCH vz10] ms/net, pidfd: report EINVAL for ESRCH

[Konstantin Khorenko <khorenko@virtuozzo.com>]

From: Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org>

dbus-broker relies -EINVAL being returned to indicate ESRCH in [1].
This causes issues for some workloads as reported in [2].
Paper over it until this is fixed in userspace.
