Oleg Nesterov 47e65328a7 [PATCH] pids: kill PIDTYPE_TGID
This patch kills PIDTYPE_TGID pid_type thus saving one hash table in
kernel/pid.c and speeding up subthreads create/destroy a bit.  It is also a
preparation for the further tref/pids rework.

This patch adds 'struct list_head thread_group' to 'struct task_struct'
instead.

We don't detach group leader from PIDTYPE_PID namespace until another
thread inherits it's ->pid == ->tgid, so we are safe wrt premature
free_pidmap(->tgid) call.

Currently there are no users of find_task_by_pid_type(PIDTYPE_TGID).
Should the need arise, we can use find_task_by_pid()->group_leader.
