If this is the only reason for arch_change_pid() hook, then perhaps
it would be better/simpler to add it into de_thread() right after
change_pid(tsk, PIDTYPE_PID, task_pid(leader)) ?

note also that this way arch_change_pid() doesn't need any checks and
any arguments, you can simply do

void arch_change_pid(void)
{
	S390_lowcore.current_pid = current->pid;
	if (test_facility(40))
		lpp(&S390_lowcore.lpp);
}
