[PATCH] simplify/fix first_tid()

Browse source 
first_tid:

	/* If nr exceeds the number of threads there is nothing todo */
	if (nr) {
		if (nr >= get_nr_threads(leader))
			goto done;
	}

This is not reliable: sub-threads can exit after this check, so the
'for' loop below can overlap and proc_task_readdir() can return an
already filldir'ed dirents.

	for (; pos && pid_alive(pos); pos = next_thread(pos)) {
		if (--nr > 0)
			continue;

Off-by-one error, will return 'leader' when nr == 1.

This patch tries to fix these problems and simplify the code.
