Subject: [PATCH] autofs: fix the wrong usage of the deprecated
	task_pgrp_nr()

parse_options(&pgid) sets pgid = task_pgrp_nr() which uses the global
namespace. This is wrong, we use this pgid to find "struct pid" in the
current's namespace. Change parse_options() to use task_pgrp_vnr().

Also do s/task_pgrp_nr/task_pgrp_vnr/ in the debugging printks.
checkpatch.pl complains about "line over 80 characters", but it should
blame the cuurent code, not the patch.
