[PATCH 3/4] proc: don't (ab)use ->group_leader in proc_task_readdir() paths

[Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>]

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.
