this breaks has_group_leader_pid()...

proc_pid_readdir() can miss a process doing mt-exec but this looks fixable,
just we need to update ntask->thread_pid before updating ->first.

The more problematic case is __exit_signal() which does
		
		if (unlikely(has_group_leader_pid(tsk)))
			posix_cpu_timers_exit_group(tsk);
