Subject: [PATCH] sys_setpgid: simplify pid/ns interaction

sys_setpgid() does unneeded conversions from pid_t to "struct pid" and vice
versa. Use "struct pid" more consistently. Saves one find_vpid() and eliminates
the explicit usage of ->nsproxy->pid_ns. Imho, cleanups the code.

Also use the same_thread_group() helper.
