[PATCH v6 1/2] pid: Replace pid bitmap implementation with IDR API

From: Gargi Sharma
Date: Wed Oct 11 2017 - 18:19:59 EST

This patch replaces the current bitmap implemetation for
Process ID allocation. Functions that are no longer required,
for example, free_pidmap(), alloc_pidmap(), etc. are removed.
The rest of the functions are modified to use the IDR API.
The change was made to make the PID allocation less complex by
replacing custom code with calls to generic API.
