We probably need that for instance when a process in the parent pspace 
kills the init of a child pspace, we should destroy the child pspace
by killing all the tasks in the child pspace including the child reaper.

I guess we need to maintain a list of task_structs in the pspace and walk
that list. Will work on that as a separate patch.
