[PATCH] pid: remove unnecessary idr_preload()

[Tycho Andersen <tycho@kernel.org>]

From: "Tycho Andersen (AMD)" <tycho@kernel.org>

As near as I can tell, nothing in the second pidmap_lock critical section
actually allocates an id, so there is no need to do idr_preload().
idr_replace() does not, nor does pidfs_add_pid().

I boot tested this and built a kernel on a $large core system, so hopefully
that would have caught any errors.
