	eaped-v2-fix-fix

So. Eric, Andrew, will you agree with this cleanup on top of
pidns-guarantee-that-the-pidns-init-will-be-the-last-pidns-process-reaped-v2-fix.patch
?

1. Update the comments in zap_pid_ns_processes() and __unhash_process()

2. Move the wake-up-reaper code in __unhash_process() under IS_ENABLED()

3. Re-structure the wait-for-empty-children code in zap_pid_ns_processes()
