[PATCH 4/4] proc: fix ->f_pos overflows in first_tid()

[Oleg Nesterov]

1. proc_task_readdir()->first_tid() path truncates f_pos to
   int, this is wrong even on 64bit.

   We could check that f_pos < PID_MAX or even INT_MAX in
   proc_task_readdir(), but this patch simply checks the
   potential overflow in first_tid(), this check is nop on
   64bit. We do not care if it was negative and the new
   unsigned value is huge, all we need to ensure is that we
   never wrongly return !NULL.

2. Remove the 2nd "nr != 0" check before get_nr_threads(),
   nr_threads == 0 is not distinguishable from !pid_task()
   above.
