Merge patch series "pidfd: improve uapi when task isn't found"

Christian Brauner <[email protected]> says:

We currently report EINVAL whenever a struct pid has no tasked attached
anymore thereby conflating two concepts:

(1) The task has already been reaped.
(2) The caller requested a pidfd for a thread-group leader but the pid
    actually references a struct pid that isn't used as a thread-group
    leader.

This is causing issues for non-threaded workloads as in [1] where they
expect ESRCH to be reported, not EINVAL. I think that's a very resonable
assumption.

This patch tries to allow userspace to distinguish between (1) and (2).
This is racy of course but that shouldn't matter.
