Subject: [PATCH v2 2/4] proc: change first_tid() to use while_each_thread()

Change first_tid() to use while_each_thread() instead of
next_thread().

This doesn't make the code simpler/better, but we are going
to fix or replace while_each_thread(), next_thread() should
be avoided whenever possible.
