pid: remove the child_reaper special case in init/main.c

This patchset is a cleanup and a preparation to unshare the pid namespace.
These prerequisites prepare for Eric's patchset to give a file descriptor
to a namespace and join an existing namespace.

This patch:

It turns out that the existing assignment in copy_process of the
child_reaper can handle the initial assignment of child_reaper we just
need to generalize the test in kernel/fork.c
