[PATCH] pid: make session_of_pgrp use struct pid instead of pid_t

To properly implement a pid namespace I need to deal exclusively in terms of
struct pid, because pid_t values become ambiguous.

To this end session_of_pgrp is transformed to take and return a struct pid
pointer.  To avoid the need to worry about reference counting I now require my
caller to hold the appropriate locks.  Leaving callers repsonsible for
increasing the reference count if they need access to the result outside of
the locks.

Since session_of_pgrp currently only has one caller and that caller simply
uses only test the result for equality with another process group, the locking
change means I don't actually have to acquire the tasklist_lock at all.

tiocspgrp is also modified to take and release the lock.  The logic there is a
little more complicated but nothing I won't need when I convert pgrp of a tty
to a struct pid pointer.
