H A Dbase.c9f6e963f Thu Jan 23 17:55:40 CST 2014 Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> proc: fix ->f_pos overflows in first_tid()

1. proc_task_readdir()->first_tid() path truncates f_pos to int, this
is wrong even on 64bit.

We could check that f_pos < PID_MAX or even INT_MAX in
proc_task_readdir(), but this patch simply checks the potential
overflow in first_tid(), this check is nop on 64bit. We do not care if
it was negative and the new unsigned value is huge, all we need to
ensure is that we never wrongly return !NULL.

2. Remove the 2nd "nr != 0" check before get_nr_threads(),
nr_threads == 0 is not distinguishable from !pid_task() above.
