I missed the part where you reset set_tid to 0 below and mis-parsed the
rightmost conjunct in the if statement.

One thing I dislike is that you do

if (set_tid) {
	if ([...] && set_tid > 0 && [...])
}

For consistency this should rather be:

if (set_tid) {
	if ([...] && set_tid && [...])
}

Overall I'd rather write the second if as:

if (set_tid && set_tid < pid_max && (set_tid == 1 || !idr_is_empty(&tmp->idr)))

to place the most basic condition (i.e. set_tid is non-zero) leftmost.

The right-most conjunct (set_tid == 1 || !idr_is_empty(&tmp->idr)) is
non-trivial to parse. Someone not familiar with that code would need
time to figure out why and how exactly 1 is special-cased.
I think overall this is begging for alloc_pid() to be documented now if
you don't mind. :)
