From: Pierre Peiffer <[email-masked]>

In order to modify the semundo-list of a task from procfs, we must be able to
work on any target task.
But all the existing code playing with the semundo-list, currently works
only on the 'current' task, and does not allow to specify any target task.

This patch changes all these routines to allow them to work on a specified
task, passed in parameter, instead of current.

This is mainly a preparation for the semundo_write() operation, on the
/proc/<pid>/semundo file, as provided in the next patch.
