[lttng-dev] [PATCH lttng-ust 2/2] Fix: cache the result of getpid() internally

[Michael Jeanson]

On Linux we called getpid() directly on each tracepoint and relied on
the glibc pid cache. However, in glibc 2.25, released on 2017-02-05, the
pid cache was removed which results in a getpid syscall on each event
when the vpid context is enabled.

Remove the Linux specific case and use our internal cache all the time.
