[Devel] [RFC][PATCH 07/14] Remove unused pid_chain from struct pid

[sukadev at us.ibm.com]

From: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <sukadev at us.ibm.com>
Subject: [RFC][PATCH 07/14] Remove unused pid_chain from struct pid

Now that we use struct pid_nr entries in the pid_hash table, we no
longer need pid_chain field in struct pid.
