 * Name: task_reparent
 *
 * Description:
 *   Change the parent of a task.
 *
 * Parameters:
 *   ppid - PID of the new parent task (0 for grandparent, i.e. the parent
 *     of the current parent task)
 *   chpid  - PID of the child to be reparented.
 *
 * Return Value:
 *   0 (OK) on success; A negated errno value on failure.
