pfind() takes a pid as its argument and returns a pointer to the proc structure whose PID is specified in
       the argument only if the pid is on the allproc list.

       zpfind() takes a pid as its argument.  If zpfind() finds a process whose PID is equal to that of argument
       and  is a zombie process, meaning that it must reside on the zombproc list, zpfind() returns a pointer to
       that proc structure.

       Both pfind() and zpfind() lock the proc structure that is returned using PROC_LOCK(p).

       pfind, zpfind — locate a process by number

pfind() and zpfind() return a pointer to a proc structure on success and a NULL on failure.
