[PATCH] proc: give the root directory a task
Helper functions in base.c like proc_pident_readdir and proc_pident_lookup
assume the directories have an associated task, and cannot currently be used
on the /proc root directory because it does not have such a task.
This small changes allows for base.c to be simplified and later when multiple
pid spaces are introduced it makes getting the needed context information
trivial.
