For consistency, virProcessRunInForkHelper

s/pid/parent  (or ppid, IDC)

just to be clear

I agree w/ Daniel regarding @status reporting like virCommandWait, it
looks ugly but gets all the information out at least.

It's the "fork's" parent pid. Perhaps would be nice to have ppid or
parent - just because pid is used so many times. It's not that important
though.

Since this is defined before virProcessRunInMountNamespace in source,
probably could do the same in this file. It's a type a orderly thing.

and yes, essentially what I was looking to see done from previous
reviews since those paths won't necessarily be NS type runs...

I'm OK with trusting that you can make the necessary comment adjustments
from Daniel's review, but if you feel compelled to post a diff I won't
complain either...
