Is there a reason for wanting to revert this behaviour instead of using the "-z" flag on the command line? If you use pidof a lot and expect to see processes that are in the uninterruptable sleep state then making an alias of pidof='pidof -z' seems like a straight forward approach.
Reverting the change entirely means the default behaviour could hang in NFS environments and I'm not sure non-functioning is a better situation than skipping sleeping processes.
