proc: show mnt_id in /proc/pid/fdinfo

Currently we don't have a way how to determing from which mount point
file has been opened.  This information is required for proper dumping
and restoring file descriptos due to presence of mount namespaces.  It's
possible, that two file descriptors are opened using the same paths, but
one fd references mount point from one namespace while the other fd --
from other namespace.
