The problem by remember a user space process by it's pid it is
possible that the process will exit, pid wrap around will occur and a
different process will appear in it's place. Holding a reference
to a struct pid avoid that problem, and paves the way
for implementing a pid namespace.
Also since usb is the only user of kill_proc_info_as_uid
rename kill_proc_info_as_uid to kill_pid_info_as_uid
and have the new version take a struct pid.
This patch is against 2.6.18-rc6-mm1.
