proc: don't (ab)use ->group_leader in proc_task_readdir() paths proc_task_readdir() does not really need "leader", first_tid() has to revalidate it anyway. Just pass proc_pid(inode) to first_tid() instead, it can do pid_task(PIDTYPE_PID) itself and read ->group_leader only if necessary. The patch also extracts the "inode is dead" code from pid_delete_dentry(dentry) into the new trivial helper, proc_inode_is_dead(inode), proc_task_readdir() uses it to return -ENOENT if this dir was removed. This is a bit racy, but the race is very inlikely and the getdents() after openndir() can see the empty "." + ".." dir only once. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Cc: "Eric W.
