[ 048/124] pid: Handle the exit of a multi-threaded init.

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

3.8-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 751c644b95bb48aaa8825f0c66abbcc184d92051 upstream.

When a multi-threaded init exits and the initial thread is not the
last thread to exit the initial thread hangs around as a zombie
until the last thread exits.  In that case zap_pid_ns_processes
needs to wait until there are only 2 hashed pids in the pid
namespace not one.

v2. Replace thread_pid_vnr(me) == 1 with the test thread_group_leader(me)
    as suggested by Oleg.
