The code I currently have here has changed.  Is has grown a nice comment:

	/*
	 * find_task_by_pid() does not take the tasklist lock anymore
	 * but is nicely RCU locked - hence is a pretty resilient
	 * thing to use:
	 */
	return find_task_by_pid(tid);

I updated the comment appropriately
(s/find_task_by_pid/find_task_by_pid_ns/).  Please check that this was
true.
