We might as well dump the drm_file pointer, that's about as useful
a cookie as the pid. Noticed while typing docs for drm_file and friends.
Since the only consumer of this is the tracepoints I think we can safely
change this - those tracepoints should not be uapi relevant at all. It
all goes back to

drm: add per-event vblank event trace points
which doesn't give a special justification for using pid over a pointer.
Also note that the nouveau code setting it is entirely pointless:
Since this isn't a vblank event, it will never hit the vblank
tracepoints.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
