Race -- you need to make sure the task_struct doesn't disappear out
from under you.
Anyway, why not use the interface 'chown uid /proc/pid'? No new
syscall, no arch-dependent part, no user-space tool, etc.
The following is untested and almost certainly broken (I'm a lousy
kernel hacker), but should be at least somewhat close....
