OK, it was bad idea. I still think the usage of task_pgrp_nr() in
fs code is wrong, but it turns out this needs more discussion with
maintainers.
Please find the new patch below, it doesn't depend on the patches above.
The only difference is that the new version doesn't kill task_pgrp_nr()
but reimplements it via task_pgrp_nr_ns(tsk, &init_pid_ns).
------
[PATCH -mm] pids: kill signal_struct-> __pgrp/__session and friends
(depends on pids-refactor-vnr-nr_ns-helpers-to-make-them-safe.patch)
We are wasting 2 words in signal_struct without any reason to implement
task_pgrp_nr() and task_session_nr().
task_session_nr() has no callers since 2e2ba22ea4fd4bb85f0fa37c521066db6775cbef,
we can remove it.
task_pgrp_nr() is still (I believe wrongly) used in fs/autofsX and fs/coda.
This patch reimplements task_pgrp_nr() via task_pgrp_nr_ns(), and kills
__pgrp/__session and the related helpers.
The change in drivers/char/tty_io.c is cosmetic, but hopefully makes sense
anyway.
