pidns: remove find_task_by_pid, unused for a long time 

It seems to me that it was a mistake marking this function as deprecated
and scheduling it for removal, rather than resolutely removing it after
the last caller's death.

Anyway - better late, then never.

---------------------------
What: find_task_by_pid
When: 2.6.26
Why: With pid namespaces, calling this funciton will return the
wrong task when called from inside a namespace.
The best way to save a task pid and find a task by this
pid later, is to find this task's struct pid pointer (or get
it directly from the task) and call pid_task() later.
If someone really needs to get a task by its pid_t, then
he most likely needs the find_task_by_vpid() to get the
task from the same namespace as the current task is in, but
this may be not so in general.

What: ACPI procfs interface
When: July 2008
Why: ACPI sysfs conversion should be finished by January 2008.
