Documentation: update the description of TracerPid in procfs.rst
When the tracer of process is outside of current pid namespace, field
`TracerPid` in /proc/<pid>/status will be 0, too, just like this process
not have been traced.
This is because that function `task_pid_nr_ns` used to get the pid of
tracer will return 0 in this situation.
