I remade the previous patch against the latest Linus tree, please apply.
This patch fixes strange and obscure pid implementation in current kernels: - it removes calling of put_task_struct() from detach_pid() under tasklist_lock. This allows to use blocking calls in security_task_free() hooks (in __put_task_struct()). - it saves some space = 5*5 ints = 100 bytes in task_struct - it's smaller and tidy, more straigthforward and doesn't use any knowledge about pids using and assignment. - it removes pid_links and pid_struct doesn't hold reference counters on task_struct. instead, new pid_structs and linked altogether and only one of them is inserted in hash_list.
