[PATCH] release_task: kill the no longer needed get/put_pid(thread_pid)

[Oleg Nesterov]

After the commit 7903f907a2260 ("pid: perform free_pid() calls outside
of tasklist_lock") __unhash_process() -> detach_pid() no longer calls
free_pid(), proc_flush_pid() can just use p->thread_pid without the
now pointless get_pid() + put_pid().
