[PATCH v2 1/2] exit: move wake_up_all() pidfd waiters into __unhash_process()
From: Christian Brauner
Date: Fri Apr 11 2025 - 09:27:03 EST
Move the pidfd notification out of __change_pid() and into
__unhash_process(). The only valid call to __change_pid() with a NULL
argument and PIDTYPE_PID is from __unhash_process(). This is a lot more
obvious than calling it from __change_pid().
