no, don't do that. This is the correct way to do what you want:

        /*
         * Remove our kernel threads from ps listings.
         */
        write_lock_irq(&tasklist_lock);
        unhash_pid(current);
        current->pidhash_pprev = &current->pidhash_next;
        current->pidhash_next = NULL;
        write_unlock_irq(&tasklist_lock);
