There is a check in pid allocation code to skip a full page:

        if (likely(atomic_read(&map->nr_free))) {
                ...

In practice it doesn't do anything. To skip a pidmap page
one has to have 32K consecutive pids allocated at the same
time which doesn't happen.

Currently the price is _every_ fork/exit on every system being slower
than necessary.
