[PATCH] pid: Don't hash pid 0.

[ebiederm@xmission.com (Eric W. Biederman)]

pid 0 is never exported to userspace, so hashing it servers no useful
purpose.

Explicitly not hashing pid 0 allows struct pid to be marked as not
hashed, and it allows us to avoid checks if for pid 0 when searching
for processes to signal if pid 0 does not have a special meaning.
