If the last process has exited the pid namespace I would like the
code to continue to behave as it currently does.

I would like readdir on /proc/ to not even try to show any pids when
there are no pids or pid related files in the pid namespace.

I would like /proc/self to completely disappear when the are not
any pids in the pid namespace.

I misspoke in when I said that /proc/<pid> was affected.  The function
is proc_pid_readdir and it is a subset of /proc/ so it gets a little 
confusing.
