[Devel] [RFC][PATCH] Make (hr)timers use struct pid instead of pid_t

(Just RFC, untested :( )

Timers may store the task's (that armed the timer) pid for statistics
(CONFIG_TIMER_STATS). Since these ids are shown via proc, we cannot
just store the id and use it - we must get the struct pid and print
the id, depending on the naespace, reading the file.

The thing I'm afraid of is the pid reference counting. I've looked 
through the code and found that the stats start/clear calls looks
to be called symmetrically, but I'm not 100% sure.

The other problem is the compilation - as you can see the put_pid()
is declared explicitly in timer.h and hrtimer.h. This is done so
because the following dependency arises when including the pid.h
directly into these headers:
