Your init process is kernel's idle thread.
How did that happen??

Normally, kernel's idle thread has pid 0 (not 1 as it is seen on your system)
and is not visible to userspace (/proc/0 does not exist).
Of course, kernel's idle thread is not doing anything useful, in particular, it
does not reap dead children. Thus you see the zombies.
