document while_each_thread(), change first_tid() to use for_each_thread()
Add the comment to explain that while_each_thread(g,t) is not rcu-safe unless g is stable (e.g. current). Even if g is a group leader and thus can't exit before t, t or another sub-thread can exec and remove g from the thread_group list. The only lockless user of while_each_thread() is first_tid() and it is fine in that it can't loop forever, yet for_each_thread() looks better and I am going to change while_each_thread/next_thread.
