Improve error handling in /proc/[pid]/ virtual files.

* Changes error handling to allow /proc/[pid]/ virtual files to be
  empty in some cases (in this case the file's formatter should return
  -1 upon error, not 0).

* Better error handling of /proc/[pid]/stat for zombie processes:
  previously trying to open this file on zombie processes resulted
  in an EINVAL being returned by open().  Now the file can be read,
  and fields that can no longer be read are just zeroed.

* Similarly for /proc/[pid]/statm for zombie processes.

* Similarly for /proc/[pid]/maps for zombie processes (in this case the
  file can be read but is zero-length, which is consistent with observed
  behavior on Linux.
