Useless checks ?
Correct me if I'm wrong !

In include/linux/sched.h for_each_task is
defined as :

        #define for_each_task(p) \
                for (p = &init_task ; (p = p->next_task) != &init_task ; )

So p can't be init (pid 1),but in
several files i discoverd a check if p is init.

So please check the files :

file:line

drivers/char/sysrq.c:44
fs/proc/base.c:983
kernel/signal.c:543
kernel/capability.c:109
