Subject: [PATCH 2/2] pid: Use for_each_thread() in do_each_pid_thread()

while_each_pid_thread() is using while_each_thread(), which is unsafe
under RCU lock according to commit 0c740d0afc3bff0a ("introduce
for_each_thread() to replace the buggy while_each_thread()"). Use
for_each_thread() in do_each_pid_thread() which is safe under RCU lock.
