It's really a draft as I said. I'm more interested in whether this is a
viable idea to separate kernel spawned workers into /proc/<pid>/worker
and not show them in /proc/<pid>/task or if this is a non-starter. If so
then I'll send an actual patch that also doesn't include
code-duplication to no end. ;)
