[Devel] [PATCH user-cr] fix sid swap buglet

[Serge E. Hallyn]

In the case of a restart of a subtree checkpoint, some sids
may be recorded as 0.  If so, then we substitute the coordinator's
sid.  The code to do that wasn't quite right, and in fact writes
past the end of the pids_arr, which happens to be into the
copy_arr.  As a result, the kernel was getting bogus data for
substituted pids.  In my own case that lead to sys_restart()
waiting on a bogus vpid (in particular, the pid of my bash shell).

Fix that.
