proc_pident_instantiate() has following call flow.

proc_pident_lookup()
proc_pident_instantiate()
proc_pid_make_inode()

And, proc_pident_lookup() has following error handling.

const struct pid_entry *p, *last;
error = ERR_PTR(-ENOENT);
if (!task)
goto out_no_task;

Then, proc_pident_instantiate should return ENOENT too when racing against
exit(2) occur.

EINAL has two bad reason.
- it implies caller is wrong. bad the race isn't caller's mistake.
- man 2 open don't explain EINVAL. user often don't handle it.

Note: Other proc_pid_make_inode() caller already use ENOENT properly.
