    Grr. Oleg's review of remove-the-likelypid-check-in-copy-process
    showed it to be questionable (and it was just an optimization)
    so we can get rid of that one easily.

    Although all it did that was really questionable was add
    the idle process to the global process list and bump a process
    count when we forked the idle process. Not dramatically dangerous
    things.

    As I recall that patch was pretty trivial, and shouldn't have
    anything to do with the freezer. The process freezer doesn't care
    about pids does it?
