MAX_PID in the previous patch can handle the case when sysctl__read_int("kernel/pid_max", &pid_max) < 0
here in this patch, so I still keep it. However, maybe sysctl__read_int is very unlikely to fail and does
not need MAX_PID at all, but keeping MAX_PID here will not introduce any trouble, thus I choose not to drop
it.
