The problem is that because wait_pidfd.lock is taken under the tasklist
lock.  It must always be taken with irqs disabled as tasklist_lock can be
taken from interrupt context and if wait_pidfd.lock was already taken this
would create a lock order inversion.

Oleg suggested just disabling irqs where I have added extra calls to
wait_pidfd.lock.  That should be safe and I think the code will eventually
do that.  It was rightly pointed out by Christian that sharing the
wait_pidfd.lock was a premature optimization.

It is also true that my pre-merge window testing was insufficient.  So
remove the premature optimization and give struct pid a dedicated lock of
it's own for struct pid things.  I have verified that lockdep sees all 3
paths where we take the new pid->lock and lockdep does not complain.

It is my current day dream that one day pid->lock can be used to guard the
task lists as well and then the tasklist_lock won't need to be held to
deliver signals.  That will require taking pid->lock with irqs disabled.
