kill do_each_thread()
Eric has pointed out that we still have 3 users of do_each_thread().
Change them to use for_each_process_thread() and kill this helper.
There is a subtle change, after do_each_thread/while_each_thread g == t ==
&init_task, while after for_each_process_thread() they both point to
nowhere, but this doesn't matter.
> Why is for_each_process_thread() better than do_each_thread()?
Say, for_each_process_thread() is rcu safe, do_each_thread() is not.
And certainly
for_each_process_thread(p, t) {
do_something(p, t);
}
looks better than
do_each_thread(p, t) {
do_something(p, t);
} while_each_thread(p, t);
And again, there are only 3 users of this awkward helper left. It should
have been killed years ago and in fact I thought it had already been
killed. It uses while_each_thread() which needs some changes.
