Ugh. I am sorry! but imho this is so ugly :(
Could you please give more details why we need this change? Even if we really
need this, can't we do these checks in copy_process() ?
free_pid(&init_struct_pid)
can only happen when fork fails, this is a slow path, and copy_process() knows
copy_src.
Oleg.
