Reduce contention on the proctree lock during heavy package build.

There is a proctree -> allproc ordering established.

Most of the time it is either xlock -> xlock or slock -> slock.

On fork however there is a slock -> xlock pair which results in
pathological wait times due to threads keeping proctree held for
reading and all waiting on allproc. Switch this to xlock -> xlock.
Longer term fix would get rid of proctree in this place to begin with.
Right now it is necessary to walk the session/process group lists to
determine which id is free. The walk can be avoided e.g. with bitmaps.

The exit path used to have one place which dealt with allproc and
then with proctree. Move the allproc acquire into the section protected
by proctree. This reduces contention against threads waiting on proctree
in the fork codepath - the fork proctree holder does not have to wait
for allproc as often.

Finally, move tidhash manipulation outside of the area protected by
either of these locks. The removal from the hash was already unprotected.
There is no legitimate reason to look up thread ids for a process still
under construction.

This results in about 50% wait time reduction during -j 128 package build.
