Oops, good catch, thanks! Will send v2 soon!!

Wasn't sure about this but added as bpf_get_current_pid_tgid,
bpf_get_current_uid_gid, and bpf_get_current_comm check for this. Texted Alexei
about this and he told me this is probably not necessary anymore, but I
guess it doesn't hurt leaving it?

Yep! init_task doesn't set a pid for what I could see, so I guess it
will be PID=0. The test in the last patch check bpf_progenyof(0) :)
bpf_progenyof with 0 or 1 will always return 1
