Subject: [PATCH 1/2] introduce the walk_process_tree() helper

From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@...hat.com>

Add the new helper to walk the process tree, the next patch adds a user.
Note that it visits the group leaders only, proc_visitor can do
for_each_thread itself or we can trivially extend walk_process_tree() to
do this.
