In many places we needlessly use `sched_active_thread->pid` whilst we
already have `sched_active_pid` with the same value, and one less
indirection.
`thread_getpid()` is made `static inline` so that there is no penalty in
using this function over accessing `sched_active_pid` directly.
Instead of using differing integer types use kernel_pid_t for process
identifier. This type is introduced in a new header file to avoid
circular dependencies.
This PR converts tabs to white spaces.
The statement I used for the conversion:
'''find . -name "*.[ch]" -exec zsh -c 'expand -t 4 "$0" > /tmp/e && mv /tmp/e "$0"' {} \;'''
Afterwards, I had a quick overview of the converted files to prevent odd indentation.
