Subject: [PATCH 4/12] signal: Use kill_pgrp not kill_pg in the sunos compatibility code.

I am slowly moving to a model where all process killing
is struct pid based instead of pid_t based.   The sunos
compatibility code is one of the last users of the old pid_t
based kill_pg in the kernel.  By being complete I allow
for the future removal of kill_pg from the kernel, which
will ensure I don't miss something.
