Subject: [PATCH v3 0/1] pidfd: implement PIDFD_THREAD flag for pidfd_open()

Please see the interdiff below.

Also, I updated the changelog to document that the behaviour of
pidfd_poll(PIDFD_THREAD, pid-of-group-leader) is not well defined
if a sub-thread execs.

Do you agree with this semantics?

Oleg.
