/* find_pid_by_name()

 *  Modified by Vladimir Oleynik for use with libbb/procps.c
 *  This finds the pid of the specified process.
 *  Currently, it's implemented by rummaging through
 *  the proc filesystem.
 *
 *  Returns a list of all matching PIDs
 *  It is the caller's duty to free the returned pidlist.
