kill_pid() is already exported.

Because there is a race window that detach_pid() from __unhash_process() from
__exit_signal() from release_task() from exit_notify() from do_exit() is called
some time after wake_up_all(&pid->wait_pidfd) from do_notify_pidfd() from
do_notify_parent() from exit_notify() from do_exit() was called (in other words,
we can't use pid->wait_pidfd when pid_task() is used at wait_event()) ?

Below are changes I suggest.
