[PATCH 2/7] pid: Add do_each_pid_task

[Eric W. Biederman]

To avoid pid rollover confusion the kernel needs to work with
struct pid * instead of pid_t.  Currently there is not an iterator
that walks through all of the tasks of a given pid type starting
with a struct pid.  This prevents us replacing some pid_t instances
with struct pid.  So this patch adds do_each_pid_task which walks
through the set of task for a given pid type starting with a struct pid.
