the test in patch 3 commit message has this though:
"- progenyof(0) == 0"

so the intention for progenyof(0) is to always return 0 or 1?

A random ps output from my vm:
[root@...h-fb-vm1 bpf]# ps -eaf | head -3
UID        PID  PPID  C STIME TTY          TIME CMD
root         1     0  0 11:45 ?        00:00:12 /sbin/init
root         2     0  0 11:45 ?        00:00:00 [kthreadd]

I was asking because,
after reading the loop, it seems all tasks tracing back to init_task.
so my intuitive thinking is progenyof(init_task.pid) should always
return 1.  If it is otherwise, some comments and doc would be useful
to explain why treating init_task.pid differently.
