[PATCH] proc: Remove tasklist_lock from proc_pid_readdir
We don't need the tasklist_lock to safely iterate through processes anymore. This depends on my previous to task patches that make get_task_struct rcu safe, and that make next_task() rcu safe. I haven't gotten first_tid/next_tid yet only because next_thread is missing an rcu_dereference. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
