kernel: fix noteid change race condition from devproc while forking (thanks joe7)

Browse source 
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.
