[Trivial Patch] Bad tgid and tid lookup for /proc

[Kingsley Cheung <kingsley@aurema.com>]

All,

On 2.6.2, one can do the following, which is clearly wrong:

gen2 02:49:45 ~: cat /proc/1/task/$$/stat
1669 (bash) S 1668 1669 1669 34816 1730 256 1480 6479 12 4 8 5 5 17 15 0 1 0 8065 3252224 451 4294967295 134512640 134955932 3221225104 3221222840 4294960144 0 65536 3686404 1266761467 3222442959 0 0 17 0 0 0
gen2 02:50:44 ~: ls /proc/1/task

1669

The following trivial patch against 2.6.2 (applies also to 2.6.3-rc1)
fixes it:
