Eric W. Biederman c18258c6f0 [PATCH] pid: Implement transfer_pid and use it to simplify de_thread
In de_thread we move pids from one process to another, a rather ugly case.
The function transfer_pid makes it clear what we are doing, and makes the
action atomic.  This is useful we ever want to atomically traverse the
process group and session lists, in a rcu safe manner.

Even if the atomic properties this change should be a win as transfer_pid
should be less code to execute than executing both attach_pid and
detach_pid, and this should make de_thread slightly smaller as only a
single function call needs to be emitted.  The only downside is that the
code might be slower to execute as the odds are against transfer_pid being
in cache.
