If run the fsck -N command, processes don't execute, just show what

instance_list list in the execute function,if the kill_all function
is called later, kill(-1, signum) is executed, Signals are sent to
all processes except the number one process and itself. Other
processes will be killed if they use the default signal processing
function.

That works, but I think we can afford to be a little defensive here.
Anything <= 0 is a bug and can have unexpected consequences if we
actually call the kill().

		if (inst->pid <= 0)

OK, I'll fix this and send the v2 version of the patch.



Also as Darrick pointed out we need to send the patch to util-linux
(disk-utils/fsck.c) as well if you haven't already.

I'll check and modify util-linux(disk-utils/fsck.c).
