Subject: [PATCH 09/12] sysctl: move cad_pid into kernel/pid.c

Move cad_pid as well as supporting function proc_do_cad_pid into
kernel/pic.c. Replaced call to __do_proc_dointvec with proc_dointvec
inside proc_do_cad_pid which requires the copy of the ctl_table to
handle the temp value.

This is part of a greater effort to move ctl tables into their
respective subsystems which will reduce the merge conflicts in
kernel/sysctl.c.
