I don't think procfs works that way. /proc/sub-thread-tid has
proc_tgid_base_operations despite not being a thread group leader.
(Yes, that's kinda weird.) AFAICS the WARN_ON_ONCE() in this code can
be hit trivially, and then the code will misbehave.
@Joel: I think you'll have to either rewrite this to explicitly bail
out if you're dealing with a thread group leader, or make the code
work for threads, too.
