From: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com>
Subject: pid: delete RESERVED_PIDS

RESERVED_PIDS had a noble goal: to protect root from PID exhaustion since
at least ~2.5.40 except it never did that because there was no capability
or uid checks.

Allow small pids to be allocated after rollover, there is nothing sacred
about them.

Resource exhaustion should be handled by rlimits and/or kernel memory
accounting.
