* deduplicate "iter.tgid += 1" line,
it is done once inside next_tgid() itself and second time inside
"for" loop
* deduplicate next_tgid() call itself with different loop style:
auto it = make_xxx_iter();
while (next_xxx(&it)) {
}
gcc seems to inline it twice in the original code:
$ ./scripts/bloat-o-meter ../vmlinux-000 ../obj/vmlinux
add/remove: 0/1 grow/shrink: 1/0 up/down: 100/-245 (-145)
Function old new delta
proc_pid_readdir 531 631 +100
next_tgid 245 - -245
But if there is only one call, it doesn't matter if it is inlined or not!
* make tgid_iter.pid_ns const
it never changes during readdir, returning instance + C99 initializer
make it possible,
* rename "iter" to "it", this is what another language seems to be doing.
* limit declaration scope to prevent problems (in general).

next_tgid() accept pid namespace as an argument, but it never changes
during readdir (which would be unthinkable thing to do anyway).
Move it inside iterator type and hide from direct usage.
