* deduplicate "iter.tgid += 1" line,
  it is done once inside next_tgid() itself and second time inside
  "for" loop

* deduplicate next_tgid() call itself with different loop style:

	auto it = make_xxx_iter();
	while (next_xxx(&it)) {
	}

  gcc seems to inline it twice in the original code:

  	$ ./scripts/bloat-o-meter ../vmlinux-000 ../obj/vmlinux
	add/remove: 0/1 grow/shrink: 1/0 up/down: 100/-245 (-145)
	Function                                     old     new   delta
	proc_pid_readdir                             531     631    +100
	next_tgid                                    245       -    -245

But if there is only one call, it doesn't matter if it is inlined or not!

* make tgid_iter.pid_ns const
  it never changes during readdir, returning instance + C99 initializer
  make it possible,

* rename "iter" to "it", this is what another language seems to be doing.

* limit declaration scope to prevent problems (in general).
