This is to ensure that the /var/run/samba heirarchy is created before use, in the event that the system uses a tmpfs for /var/run (and therefore directories don't persist across reboots). No, this has nothing at all to do with pidfiles - the existing code is correct and should not be altered. Nor should the /var/run/samba/winbindd_privileged directory be used for pidfiles. (I don't know why we have $PIDDIR used in some cases and not others - that's an inconsistency that we should correct at some point.)
