And of course since I only tested "trace only this pid" case, and not
the "trace everything but this pid" case, the above has a bug (which
the ktest bot just told me about), and my tests missed it.

That should have been:

	if (!trace_pid_list_first(pid_list, &first) ||
	    !trace_pid_list_first(no_pid_list, &first))

I'll fix it, run it through my tests, and post another pull request :-/.

/me needs to add that case to his tests, even though it's extremely
rare (I never use it). Which is exactly why I should have a test for it!
