1. find_pid_ns() + get_pid_task() under rcu_read_lock() guarantees that we
   can safely iterate the task->thread_group list. Even if this task exits
   right after get_pid_task() (or goto retry) and pid_alive() returns 0.

   Kill the unnecessary pid_alive() check.

2. next_thread() simply can't return NULL, kill the bogus "if (!next_task)"
   check.

__unhash_process() tries to detach_pid() (pid_alive() may become false)
and ist_del_rcu(&p->thread_group). So yes, next_thread() should be safe
to grab next_task since &task->thread_group is rcu protected. So
