LinuxProcessList_recurseProcTree: keep on read error

If a process goes away while reading its fields, but we already have
that process in the list, we should keep it in case the "highlight dying
processes" mode is active. Not only is that expected in this mode, but
this should also ensure parents are in the list when their children are
(wanted for tree mode consistency).
