I won't really argue, just a question...
So this patch changes it to accept/return task_struct rather pid. Why?
it is better to get/put "struct pid" only, not the whole task_struct.
If another caller want task_struct, the necessary conversion is simple.
But again, I won't argue if you think this will complicate the non-proc
users of this helper.
