[PATCH 1/3] pid: replace pidmap_lock with xarray lock

From: Brian Foster
Date: Fri Jul 15 2022 - 07:34:20 EST


As a first step to changing the struct pid tracking code from the
idr over to the xarray, replace the custom pidmap_lock spinlock with
the internal lock associated with the underlying xarray. This is
effectively equivalent to using idr_lock() and friends, but since
the goal is to disentangle from the idr, move directly to the
underlying xarray api.
