kernel: fix noteid change race condition from devproc while forking (thanks joe7)
devproc allows changing the noteid of another process which opens a race condition in sysrfork(), when deciding to inherit the noteid of "up" to the child and calling pidalloc() later to take the reference, the noteid could have been changed and the childs noteid could have been freed already in the process. this bug can only happen when one writes the /proc/n/noteid file of a another process than your own that is in the process of forking. the noteid changing functionality of devproc seems questinable and seems to be only used by ape's setpgrid() implementation.
