Ok.  I now see what the real question is.  The idle thread never shows
up in /proc so I don't know if this is quite complete.  The bits we
fill in are designed to be enough for fork/clone and other pieces
so we don't need special cases in the code to deal with the idle thread.

I think the idle thread quite possibly has enough information to show
up in /proc but that is a separate case.

Definitely something to discuss when we come back to unshare of the
pid namespace.
