"the PID of the process holding a GPIO line"
As written it could be interpreted to imply that multiple processes can
hold a line, so go singular to remove that possibility.

My knee-jerk reaction here was to make the pid unsigned, as we never
pass a negative PID.
Keeping in mind that the existing kernel will return 0 for this field
(the existing padding), so 0 needs to be excluded from valid PIDs
anyway.
Andy suggests returning -1 for kernel held lines.
In that case 0 would mean "old kernel", while -1 would mean "kernel
held".
As libgpiod will have to convert the 0 to -1 when returning the PID to
user-space as a pid_t, I'm good with the uAPI using 0 to mean
"no PID available" for all cases. I'm still open to passing -1 for
kernel held is there is a use case for it, but I don't see one.
Cheers,
Kent.
