Subject: [PATCH 1/2] procfs: use an enum for possible hidepid values

Previously, the hidepid parameter was checked by comparing literal
integers 0, 1, 2. Let's add a proper enum for this, to make the checking
more expressive:

	0 → HIDEPID_OFF
	1 → HIDEPID_NO_ACCESS
	2 → HIDEPID_INVISIBLE

This changes the internal labelling only, the userspace-facing interface
remains unmodified, and still works with literal integers 0, 1, 2.

No functional changes.
