[PATCH] pidhash: don't count idle threads
fork_idle() does unhash_process() just after copy_process(). Contrary,
boot_cpu's idle thread explicitely registers itself for each pid_type with nr
= 0.
copy_process() already checks p->pid != 0 before process_counts++, I think we
can just skip attach_pid() calls and job control inits for idle threads and
kill unhash_process(). We don't need to cleanup ->proc_dentry in fork_idle()
because with this patch idle threads are never hashed in
kernel/pid.c:pid_hash[].
We don't need to hash pid == 0 in pidmap_init(). free_pidmap() is never
called with pid == 0 arg, so it will never be reused. So it is still possible
to use pid == 0 in any PIDTYPE_xxx namespace from kernel/pid.c's POV.
However with this patch we don't hash pid == 0 for PIDTYPE_PID case. We still
have have PIDTYPE_PGID/PIDTYPE_SID entries with pid == 0: /sbin/init and
kernel threads which don't call daemonize().
