proc: remove races from proc_id_readdir()

Browse Source 
Oleg noticed that the call of task_pid_nr_ns() in proc_pid_readdir
is racy with respect to tasks exiting.

After a bit of examination it also appears that the call itself
is completely unnecessary.

So to fix the problem this patch modifies next_tgid() to return
both a tgid and the task struct in question.

A structure is introduced to return these values because it is
slightly cleaner and easier to optimize, and the resulting code
is a little shorter.
