And no, we are *NOT* making pidfd_open() into some "let's expose /proc

wrong, insecure and stupid.
And btw, this is not debatable. In fact, this whole discussion is
making me feel like I should just revert pidfd, not because the code I
merged is wrong, but because people are clearly intending to do
completely inappropriate things with this.

Get your act together.  Stop hacking up garbage.
