[Devel] [PATCH] ftrace: use init_struct_pid as swapper pid

[Steven Rostedt]

Ingo,

Here's a little clean up patch.

Randy Dunlap should be happy that I changed my script to combine the 
header and patch in one email if I only have a single patch.

    ftrace: use init_struct_pid as swapper pid
    
    Impact: clean up
    
    Using (struct pid *)-1 as the pointer for ftrace_swapper_pid is
    a little confusing for others. This patch uses the address of the
    actual init pid structure instead. This change is only for
    clarity. It does not affect the code itself. Hopefully soon the
    swapper tasks will all have their own pid structure and then
    we can clean up the code a bit more.
